Susceptibility of monospecies and dual-species biofilms of Staphylococcus aureu...
Millezi, F. M.; Pereira, Maria Olívia; Batista, N. N.; Camargos, N.; Auad, I.; Cardoso, M. D. G.; Piccoli, R. H.The aim of this study was to investigate the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli biofilms formed on the polypropylene surface. The cultures were developed for 240 h, planktonic growth was characterized by colony-forming unit (cfu)/mL and biofilms was characterized by quantifying biomass and cfu/cm2. Essential oils (EOs) of citronella and lemon were extracted by hydrodistillation and cha...
Effect of essential oils on the planktonic of S. aureus and E. coli cells
Millezi, A. F.; Sousa, A. M.; Lopes, Susana Patrícia; Auad, I.; Piccoli, R. H.; Pereira, Maria OlíviaThe essential oils of aromatic plants and their components have a wide range of applications in ethno-medicine, preservation, food flavoring and fragrances and in the perfume industries.
