In 2014, Bukvicki et al. studied the effect of Satureja horvatii oil against certain Gram-positive and -negative bacteria in vitro. According to his work, Satureja horvatii oil showed significant effects against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli (Bukvicki et al. 2014). The major constituents of this oil were p-cymene (33.14%) and thymol (26.11%) (Table 8.1). In a singular experiment, a minimal concentration of p-cymene completely inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica. Similarly, at a concentration of 6 mg/mL, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and, at a concentration of 3 mg/mL, Streptococcus sanguinis, were found to be inhibited. Moreover, p-cymene was found to exert synergistic effects along with 4-terpineol, linalool and α-terpineol (Table 8.1), against Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus sanguinis (Marchese et al. 2017).

Using the mannitol-gelatin system, Bruschi et al.,[26] investigated the in vitro antimicrobial activity of microparticles against microorganisms present in the oral cavity. The organisms include Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus casei, and Candida albicans. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by using the agar diffusion method.
