Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oil of Thymus kotschyanus subsp. glabrescens

Abstract

This study was designed to examine

in vitro antimicrobial activities of essential oil of Thymussubsp. glabrescens from Turkey (Kahramanmaras city). The antimicrobial activityMicrococcus luteus LA 2971, Bacillus cereus EÜ, Enterococcus faecalis ATCCPseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Mycobacterium smegmatis RUT, EscherichiaDM, Yersinia enterocolitica AÜ 19, Bacillus brevis FMC 3, Klebsiella oxytocica DC 113,

Rhodotorula rubra

When the results of this study were compared with vancomycin, erythromycin and nystatin

standards, it was found that

found to possess stronger antimicrobial activity and antifungal activities.
