Essential oils potentially used in biotextronics application against bacteria of lower urinary tract inflammations

An impact of the combination of essential oils on the selected bacteria associated with urinary tract infections was investigated by the agar disc diffusion method. Three essential oils: Matricaria chamomilla L., Salvia officinalis L., Salvia lavandulaefolia Vahl. were investigated in the combination of chamomile essential oil with one of the sage essential oils. The oils were tested against Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. The results were compared to the previous research in the project of the pantiliner of textronics system for prophylactic and support treatment of the lower urinary tract inflammation. The project is financed by Inkubator Innowacyjności + (Poland).
