Susceptibility of the Honeybee Bacterial Pathogen Paenibacillus larvae to Essential Oils Distilled from Exotic and Indigenous Argentinean Plants

摘要: Abstract Antimicrobial properties and chemical composition of eight exotic indigenous Argentinean essential oils to control American Foulbrood (AFB) were determined. The tested extracted from Artemisia absinthium, annua, Lepechinia floribunda, Aloysia polystachya, Verbena officinalis, Wedelia glauca, Satureja odora Hetherothalamus alienus. components the identified by SPME-GC/MS analysis. antimicrobial activity against Paenibacillus larvae determined broth microdilution method. Two-way ANOVA for minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) data minimal bactericide (MBCs) data, indicated no significant differences between thirteen P. strains highly oils. assays showed that A. annua L. foribunda inhibited bacterial at lowest tested, MICs MBCs averages 393.6 mg/L 416.7 m...
