A broth micro-dilution method was used to examine the susceptibility of Escherichia coli (n = 110) and Staphylococcus aureus (n = 105) to the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil). The detergent Tween 80 was used successfully to enhance the solubility of tea tree oil in the test medium. The MIC90 of tea tree oil for E. coli was 0.25% while for S. aureus it was 0.50%.
采用肉汤微量稀释法检测了110株大肠杆菌和105株金黄色葡萄球菌对互叶白千层精油(茶树油)的敏感性。成功使用去污剂吐温80提高了茶树油在测试培养基中的溶解度。茶树油对大肠杆菌的MIC90为0.25%,对金黄色葡萄球菌的MIC90为0.50%。
