Detection of antibacterial effect of oregano plant on various Salmonella serotypes
Abstract :
This study was performed to detect antibacterial effects of oregano on various Salmonella serotypes. The oregano extract were prepared for two different protocols. In the first protocol, disc diffusion method included antibiograms discs with different concentrations of oregano extract were used. Zone diameters were measured to be 15, 19 and 16 mm for Salmonella Gallinarum, Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium, respectively. In the second, oregano extract with different concentrations (20 and 30 μl/ml) were added into medium content and bacterial growth were evaluated. Colony counts for S.Tyhphimurium and S. Enteriditis were 952; 536 and 1600; 440 in 20 and 30 μl/ml concentrations of oregano extract, respectively.These results showed that oregano extract had antibacterial effect on Salmonella serotypes.
