Overview

This study evaluates the antibacterial activity of extracts from ocimum basilicum and mentha spicata, suggesting potential applications in food safety.

Key Points

  • Ethanolic extracts of basil and mint effectively inhibited antibiotic-resistant bacteria, with MIC values from 0.3 to 5 μg/mL.
  • Active compounds were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography, identifying key elements contributing to antibacterial effects.
  • Cellular effects on specific bacterial isolates were assessed using scanning electron microscopy, revealing morphological changes in treated cells.
  • Results indicate potential for ocimum basilicum and mentha spicata extracts as natural alternatives for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food.
