Antibacterial activity of Cinnamomum verum and Thymus vulgaris essential oils on multidrug-resistant zoonotic bacteria isolated from dogs in southern Benin - 2025
Antibacterial activity of Cinnamomum verum and Thymus vulgaris essential oils on multidrug-resistant zoonotic bacteria isolated from dogs in southern Benin
[en] Antibiotic resistance is a major public health problem. The search for new therapeutic alternatives is becoming urgent. Essential oils are a promising alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of essential oils from selected plants on multidrug-resistant zoonotic strains isolated from dogs. Essential oils from dried Thymus vulgaris leaves, Cinnamomum verum bark, and Cuminum cyminum seeds were extracted and tested on five multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and four S. aureus isolated from dogs in southern Benin. The study showed that Thymus vulgaris essential oil was bacteriostatic, with a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) equal to 2.5 μl/ml and a Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of 17 μl/ml for E. coli strains and 11.25 μl/ml for S. aureus strains.
