Enteropathogenic (EPEC), necrotoxigenic (NTEC), and Shiga-toxin producing (STEC) are pathotypes responsible for severe clinical forms in humans and animals. They can be shed in the feces of animals with consequent environmental contamination. This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of essential oils (EOs) from oregano (, savory , thyme (, and their blend against EPEC, NTEC, and STEC strains previously isolated from avian fecal samples. Minimum inhibitory concentration values between 0.039% and 0.156% were found with EO, between ≤0.0195% and 0.156% with both and EOs, and between 0.039% and ≤0.0195% with the blend. The mixture with equal parts of EOs from oregano, savory and thyme seems a promising alternative product to combat pathogenic strains responsible for environmental contamination.
肠致病性大肠杆菌(EPEC)、产坏死毒素大肠杆菌(NTEC)和产志贺毒素大肠杆菌(STEC)是导致人类和动物出现严重临床症状的致病型。它们可随动物粪便排出,从而污染环境。本研究评估了牛至、夏香薄荷、百里香的精油及其混合物对先前从禽类粪便样本中分离出的EPEC、NTEC和STEC菌株的抗菌活性。牛至精油的最低抑菌浓度值在0.039%至0.156%之间,夏香薄荷精油和百里香精油的最低抑菌浓度值均在≤0.0195%至0.156%之间,而混合物的最低抑菌浓度值在0.039%至≤0.0195%之间。由等量牛至、夏香薄荷和百里香精油组成的混合物似乎是对抗造成环境污染的致病菌株的一种有前景的替代产品。
