The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of the Eucalyptus essential oils was appointed by the dilution method in the tube and the results revealed that the values for the E. camaldulensis 1/256 v/v, E. largiflorence 1/512 v/v, E. malliodora 1/256 v/v and E. polycarpa 1/128 v/v were 3.9 μg/mL, 1.95 μg/mL, 3.9 μg/mL and 7.8 μg/mL, respectively. Eucalyptol is the major compound of the Eucalyptus essential oil. The MIC of the pure eucalyptol appointed by the dilution method in the tube was equal to 1.95 μg/mL. In conclusion, anti Staphylococcus activity of the Eucalyptus essential oils suggested it’s clinically useful potentials, although further studies are required. | en |
