Evaluation of antibacterial activity and synergistic effect between antibiotic and the essential oils of some medicinal plants
Objective: To demonstrate the in vitro antibacterial properties of five essential oils against ten bacterial strains and study the synergistic effect of the combination of essential oils with standard antibiotics. Methods: Origanum compactum, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Thymus willdenowii Boiss, Melis...
