Evaluation of the Synergistic Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils and Cecropin A Natural Peptide on Gram-Negative Bacteria by Filippo Fratini, Chiara Pecorini, Ilaria Resci, Emma Copelotti, Francesca Paola Nocera, Basma Najar, Simone Mancini

“…In this study, we assessed the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) of three Essential Oils (EOs): winter savory (<i>Satureja montana</i>), bergamot (<i>Citrus bergamia</i>) and cinnamon (<i>Cinnamomum zeylanicum</i>) and of the insect antimicrobial peptide Cecropin A (CecA), alone and in combination with EOs, against two Gram-negative ATCC bacterial strains: <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serovar Typhimurium. The MIC results showed that winter savory EO (<i>Sm</i>EO) and cinnamon EO (<i>Cz</i>EO) exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity against both bacterial strains, whereas bergamot EO (<i>Cb</i>EO) and CecA demonstrated comparatively lower antibacterial efficacy. …”
