Bactericidal activity of carvacrol towards the food-borne pathogen Bacillus cereus
Abstract
Carvacrol, a natural plant constituent occurring in oregano and thyme, was investigated for its bactericidal effect towards the food-borne pathogen Bacillus cereus. Carvacrol showed a dose-related growth inhibition of B. cereus. At concentration of 0.75 mmol l-1 and above, total inhibition of the growth was observed. Below this concentration, carvacrol extended the lag-phase, reduced the specific growth rate and reduced the maximum population density. Incubation for 40 min in the presence of 0.75-3 mmol l-1 carvacrol decreased the number of viable cells of B. cereus exponentially. Spores were found to be approximately 2-3 fold less sensitive to carvacrol than vegetative cells. Bacillus cereus cells showed reduced susceptibility towards carvacrol at pH 7.0 compared with different values between pH 4.5 and 8.5. The culture and exposure temperatures had a significant influence on the survival of vegetative cells. The highest death rate of cells was observed at an exposure temperature of 30 degrees C. Membrane fluidity was found to be an important factor influencing the bactericidal activity of carvacrol.

“All these tests showed that carvacrol inhibited the growth of these strains (Knobloch et al. 1986; Thompson 1990; Conner 1993; Juven et al. 1994; Kim et al. 1995a, b; Sivropoulou et al. 1996; Thompson 1996).”

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.
