The bacteriostatic and fungistatic activities of 22 volatile oils were evaluated. The results showed that the oils tested varied in their antimicrobial activity. Cinnamon oil showed the highest activity against the tested bacteria and fungi. A comparison was made between the biostatic and biocidal activity of each oil. The results also showed that the bacteriostatic results as obtained by the agar-diffusion and serial dilution methods were not always parallel. The data obtained can be made use of clinically as well as for the preservation of liquid preparations liable to microbial contamination.
对22种挥发油的抑菌和抑真菌活性进行了评估。结果表明，所测试的挥发油抗菌活性各不相同。肉桂油对所测试的细菌和真菌显示出最高活性。对每种油的抑菌和杀菌活性进行了比较。结果还表明，通过琼脂扩散法和连续稀释法获得的抑菌结果并不总是平行的。所获得的数据可用于临床以及保存易受微生物污染的液体制剂。
