It seems that lavender essential oil (LEO) extracted from the flowering tops of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (Lamiaceae) is a promising candidate for a natural product which can increase the synergistic effect of some antiseptic agents such as OCT.

Overall, lavender oil was not effective as an antibacterial agent when used in its volatile state. Some studies stated that its lone use is effective against different strains of S. aureus , and others stating that the MIC required was very high before a significant effect was observed.

Recent studies have reported that different Eos, including those of lavender and basil, have antibacterial activities against gram positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus species, and gram negative bacteria, namely Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, as well as pathogenic fungus, specifically Candida albicans [43, 44, 45, 46].

2024年10月16日 · Lavender essential oil exhibits its antimicrobial effects primarily through the disruption of microbial cell membranes. The lipophilic nature of its components allows them to penetrate the lipid bilayers of microbial membranes, leading to increased permeability, leakage of cellular contents, and eventual cell death.

2006年1月1日 · The results support the anecdotal use of lavender oils as antibacterial agents and demonstrated that some oils which had previously not been investigated (e.g., Lavandula heterophylla) display good antibacterial activity against a range of bacteria including Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Citrobacter freundii, Proteus ...

2025年1月1日 · Lavender oil (Lavandula spica) is one of several essential oils that may be effective as antibacterial agents and may have significant industrial applications. The mechanisms involve increase membrane permeability causing cell lysis, blocking important enzymes for bacterial metabolism, inducing oxidative stress resulting to proteins, lipids ...

2023年10月13日 · Lavender EO finds widespread usage in culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal applications because of its soothing, antiseptic, antidepressant, and anti-inflammatory properties [29, 30].

2023年8月7日 · In this review, we summarize the latest research studies performed about sage and lavender EOs, focusing on their chemical composition and their biological and antimicrobial properties; the aim is to give an overview of the current knowledge about their major components, effectiveness, mechanisms of action, synergistic effects and use in foods t...

on make some oils more effective against particular bacteria. No strong correlation has been observed between percentage of major chemical components and antibacterial activity, and .

2019年12月26日 · Essential oils have shown synergisms both with antibiotics and antiseptics. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of lavender essential oil (LEO) on OCT efficiency towards methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains (MRSA). The LEO analyzed in this study increased the OCT's susceptibility against MRSA strains.
