Many plants derived essential oils (EOs) exert antibacterial activity and have been screened as potential sources of novel antimicrobial compounds. EOs and their components are hydrophobic molecules, which allows to partition with the lipids of the bacterial cell membrane, interfering with the bacterial cell permeability. EOs of the plant genus Satureja are known to have biological properties such as antimicrobial, fungicidal, anti-HIV-1 and anticholinesterase ability; other studies suggest antibiofilm and anti-adhesive properties.

Abstract
Many plants derived essential oils (EOs) exert antibacterial activity and have been screened as potential sources of novel antimicrobial compounds. EOs and their components are hydrophobic molecules, which allows to partition with the lipids of the bacterial cell membrane, interfering with the bacterial cell permeability. EOs of the plant genus Satureja are known to have biological properties such as antimicrobial, fungicidal, anti-HIV-1 and anticholinesterase ability; other studies suggest antibiofilm and anti-adhesive properties.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
