Antimicrobic Effect of the Satureja cuneifolia Ten. Essential Oil

The essential oil composition of Satureja cunifolia Ten. species was analyzed with respect to samples picked in different vegetative stages in the region of Rotimlje (Stolac, Herzegovina). We did not find oil of a composition characteristic of S. genus. The researched species contains either Thymol or Carvakrol. The antimicrobic effect of the oil was highly marked during the post - flowering period, especially for the Staphylococus aureus bacterium. Essential oil fungicidal activity was best marked on Candida albicans yeast during flowering period. Picking this plant at the proper time can considerably increase its therapeutic effect.
