Eucalyptus oil {51111419} Record Keys Definition:Eucalyptus oil Queue:[ ] Details Initialisation date:[ ] Specification: [ ] Meta Information Type:[ ] Host:[ ] Zone:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] - 1,8-#Cineole, the major component of EC, is the potent antimicrobial ingredient, as it has been found effective against many #Bacteria, #Fungi, and viruses. - the higher the 1,8-#Cineole concentration, the greater the antimicrobial action. - 1,8-#Cineole can induce oxidative stress, causing bacterial membrane damage and leakage of the intercellular components. - EO can allow better membrane permeability for the conjugated antimicrobial agents, which can facilitate targeting intracellular components of such microorganisms [#Enterococcus faecalis, #Streptococcus mutans] - EO significantly inhibited the planktonic and biofilm growth of S. mutans and E. faecalis. - EO inhibited the biofilm growth of S. mutans and E. faecalis by around 60 and 30-fold, respectively, compared to the group with no EO. - the antibacterial effect of EO against the planktonic and biofilm growth of S. mutans and E. faecalis was prominent, indicating its potential use against thick and mature dental biofilms. [#Streptococcus mutans] - Essential oils such as #Cinnamon, Lemongrass, Cedarwood, Clove, and eucalyptus oils revealed 3.44 to 12.51 mm of zone inhibition against S. mutans growth. - Wintergreen, Lime, Spearmint, and Peppermint oils were found ineffective.References Notes[ ]
