Ten Highly Effective Essential Oils Inhibit Growth of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (mrsa) and Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus (mssa)
The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of ten essential oils. The ten essential oils were tested on MRSA and MSSA from hospital patients using the disk diffusion (Kirby Bauer) method. Based on this study, all ten oils showed higher effectiveness inhibiting MRSA and MSSA growth than vancomycin, which is the currently used standard for treatment. Essential oils coul...

Methods From April 2008 to March 2010, at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHNT), electronic microbiological records of patients with SAB were linked with patient administration data to determine if the S. aureus was meticillin-sensitive or resistant, and if infection was CA or HA. SAB within 2 days of admission was defined as CA, 2 days or more after admission as HA and a new episode if...
