"In vitro" activity of Melaleuca cajuputi against mycobacterial species

Alessandra Bua et al. Nat Prod Res. 2020 May.

Abstract

The increasing incidence of resistance in tuberculosis and in atypical mycobacterial infections has prompted the search for alternative agents. We explored the antimycobacterial activity of Melaleuca cajuputi essential oil against tubercular and non tubercular mycobacterials isolates. The good activity observed towards M. cajuputi indicated that this essential oil might represent a promising antimicrobial agents, particularly in the management of microbial resistance.

Keywords: Melaleuca; Tuberculosis; bacteria; resistance.
