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 Issue 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $a1,8-cineole 610 $aABTS 610 $aAcinetobacter baumannii 610 $aAlternaria alternata 610 $aantifungal activity 610 $aantimicrobial 610 $aantimicrobial activity 610 $aantimicrobial resistance 610 $aantioxidant activity 610 $abiofilm 610 $aBoswellia sacra 610 $aCandida albicans 610 $acarvacrol 610 $acellulose synthesis 610 $achemometrics 610 $aciprofloxacin 610 $acucurbits 610 $aCymbopogon citratus 610 $acytotoxicity 610 $aenzyme inhibition 610 $aessential oil 610 $aessential oils 610 $aeugenol 610 $aextracellular polymeric substance matrix 610 $aFerula 610 $afrankincense essential oil 610 $aGC 610 $aGC-MS 610 $aGC/MS 610 $aGC/MS analysis 610 $agene expression 610 $agenetic 610 $agrowth inhibition 610 $ahuman semen 610 $alamb 610 $aLavandula angustifolia 610 $aLavandula intermedia 610 $alinalool 610 $aMalassezia furfur 610 $amarine bacteria 610 $aMDR 610 $ameat tenderness 610 $ametabolic pathway analysis 610 $aMonarda didyma 610 $aMonarda fistulosa 610 $amonensin 610 $aMyrtaceae 610 $an/a 610 $ananoencapsulation 610 $anitric oxide 610 $anitrite 610 $aOriganum hirtum 610 $aOriganum vulgare 610 $aPenicillium rubens 610 $apig farms 610 $aPimenta 610 $apoly(?-caprolactone) 610 $apoultry farms 610 $aPropionibacterium acnes 610 $aPseudomonas aeruginosa 610 $aRAPD 610 $aRNA microarray 610 $arosewood 610 $aSalmonella 610 $aSatureja montana 610 $aStagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum 610 $aStaphylococcus aureus 610 $aStaphylococcus spp. 610 $aTBARS 610 $athyme 610 $aThymus capitatus 610 $aThymus quinquecostatus 610 $aThymus vulgaris 610 $aTrypanosoma cruzi 610 $awound infection 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aNapoli$b Edoardo Marco$4edt$01288746 702 $aDi Vito$b Maura$4edt 702 $aNapoli$b Edoardo Marco$4oth 702 $aDi Vito$b Maura$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557383903321 996 $aChemical Composition and Biological Activities of Essential Oils$93020973 997 $aUNINA
