Why is it important?
The most common uropathogen was E. coli (61.19% n = 41). O. suave essential oils exhibited antibacterial activity against majority of the uropathogens, except Acinetobacter species.
Perspectives
The O. suave essential oils are potential sources of useful natural plant products as alternative antimicrobial drugs as claimed by traditional healers. Further research studies to isolate, identify, characterize and elucidate the structure of the bioactive compounds of O. suave essential oils to explore more in molecular level approach against various bacterial diseases.
