Evaluation of in vitro growth-inhibitory effect of carvacrol and thymol combination against Staphylococcus aureus in liquid and vapour phase using new broth volatilization chequerboard method
Original language description
Carvacrol and thymol, both plant derived volatile compounds, have extensively been studied individually as well as in combination with other agents for their antimicrobial activity in liquid phase. However, in contrast to well established assays for testing of antimicrobial combinatory effects in liquid media, there are no standardized methods for evaluation of interactions between volatile compounds in vapour phase. The objective of this study was to verify new broth volatilization chequerboard method by testing the combination of carvacrol and thymol and to determine in vitro inhibitory effect of these compounds in liquid and vapour phase against twelve Staphylococcus aureus strains. The new method, based on combination of standard microdilution chequerboard and new broth volatilization tests allowing calculation of fractional inhibitory concentrations (FICs), was used. Combination of carvacrol and thymol produced the additive antimicrobial effect against all strains tested. In several cases, they
