Abstract
Although various studies have focused on the relationship between essential oils (EOs) and skin flora, there are only few comparative studies on the antibacterial properties of EOs and their efficacy against common microorganisms. In this study, we tested the antibacterial activity of 10 different EOs against Staphylococcus epidermidis(S. epidermidis) with oxacillin as control. Optical density was used to measure the activity of solutions containing the EOs and S. epidermidis at two different concentrations. Three EOs (palmarosa, lemongrass, and Mellissa True) had higher antibacterial activity than oxacillin, but their concentrations had negligible effect on antibacterial activity.
