Their efficacy as antimicrobial agents is related to the activity of several natural compounds belonging to different chemical families that can act both in synergy with each other and with other antibiotics. The antibiotic resistance detected among pathogens has been quickly increasing in recent years, and the control of some of these microorganisms is becoming a planetary emergency for human and animal health. The control of the microbial growth is a problem of great importance also for the food industry (food deterioration and shelf life extension) and for the world of cultural heritage (indoor and outdoor phenomena of biodeterioration). Essential oils can play an important role in this scenario, due their recognized broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Therefore, the main subject of this Special Issue includes an essential oil-based approach to control microrganisms in areas such as human and veterinary medicine, entomology, food industry and agriculture. In addition, the chemical composition of essential oils from endemic and rare medicinal/aromatic plants, nanoformulations of essential oils, applications in human and veterinary medicine and its use as animal feeding supplements are topics covered in this Special IssueTechnology: general issuesbicssc1,8-cineoleABTSAcinetobacter baumanniiAlternaria alternataantifungal activityantimicrobialantimicrobial activityantimicrobial resistanceantioxidant activitybiofilmBoswellia sacraCandida albicanscarvacrolcellulose synthesischemometricsciprofloxacincucurbitsCymbopogon citratuscytotoxicityenzyme inhibitionessential oilessential oilseugenolextracellular polymeric substance matrixFerulafrankincense essential oilGCGC-MSGC/MSGC/MS analysisgene expressiongeneticgrowth inhibitionhuman semenlambLavandula angustifoliaLavandula intermedialinaloolMalassezia furfurmarine bacteriaMDRmeat tendernessmetabolic pathway analysisMonarda didymaMonarda fistulosamonensinMyrtaceaen/ananoencapsulationnitric oxidenitriteOriganum hirtumOriganum vulgarePenicillium rubenspig farmsPimentapoly(ε-caprolactone)poultry farmsPropionibacterium acnesPseudomonas aeruginosaRAPDRNA microarrayrosewoodSalmonellaSatureja montanaStagonosporopsis cucurbitacearumStaphylococcus aureusStaphylococcus spp.TBARSthymeThymus capitatusThymus quinquecostatusThymus vulgarisTrypanosoma cruziwound infectionTechnology: general issuesNapoli Edoardo Marcoedt1288746Di Vito MauraedtNapoli Edoardo MarcoothDi Vito MauraothBOOK9910557383903321Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Essential Oils3020973UNINA
