Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of<i>Baccharis psiadioides</i>essential oil against antibiotic-resistant<i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>strains

Abstract

This research shows the ability of EOBP to control resistant E. faecalis strains and to reduce the biofilm amount attached to abiotic surfaces, indicating its role as a promising new natural antimicrobial agent. Moreover, these results further contribute to the growing number of studies of plant natural products which suggest that these compounds can combat resistant microorganisms.
