Antibacterial activity and mechanism of clove essential oil against foodborne pathogens
Open accessAbstract
Clove essential oil (CEO) was extracted from dried clove buds using distillation. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometer confirmed eugenol was the main component of CEO. Assays of the minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentration revealed CEO and eugenol displayed more potent inhibitory effect against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) than against Escherichia coli (E. coli). Crystal violet and MTT assays suggested eugenol could interfere with fresh biofilm formation and reduce the biofilm cellular activities of S. aureus and E. coli. Transmission electron microscopy observations and assays of alkaline phosphatase and intracellular biological macromolecules leakage verified eugenol disrupted the cell wall and cell membrane of S. aureus. After the treatment with eugenol, the production of reactive oxygen species and the activities of three antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) increased in S. aureus cells, and eventually led to cell apoptosis due to excessive oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the molecular docking model revealed eugenol could combine with enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase [NADPH] FabI in a variety of ways. Moreover, eugenol displayed a positive effect on bacterial DNA cleavage, and thereby restrained the proliferation of the bacterium. These results indicated the antibacterial mechanism of eugenol against S. aureus may occur through many pathways.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
