Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity of essential oils and other plant extracts
TL;DR: The results of this study support the notion that plant essential oils and extracts may have a role as pharmaceuticals and preservatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil: a Review of Antimicrobial and Other Medicinal Properties
TL;DR: This review summarizes recent developments in understanding of the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of the tea tree oil and its components, as well as clinical efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of Action of Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil on Staphylococcus aureus Determined by Time-Kill, Lysis, Leakage, and Salt Tolerance Assays and Electron Microscopy
TL;DR: The predisposition to lysis, the loss of 260-nm-absorbing material, the lost of tolerance to NaCl, and the altered morphology seen by electron microscopy all suggest that tea tree oil and its components compromise the cytoplasmic membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity of the major components of the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia
TL;DR: The antimicrobial activity of eight components of tea tree oil was evaluated using disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods and reasonable agreement between minimum inhibitory concentrations and zones of inhibition was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
