Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is categorized as a red alert pathogen that is increasingly associated with a high mortality rate in infected patients because of its resistance to extensive antibiotics. This study evaluated the antibacterial activities of some essential oils (tee tree, rosemary, and lavender oils) against 18 clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii (MRAB). The carbapenemase screening Hodge test showed that all 20 strains of A. baumannii were resistant to imipenem. The identification of multidrug-resistant microbes was carried out using the VITEK system. The antimicrobial activity of essential oils was tested by a disk diffusion method against MRAB. In the disk diffusion method, tea tree showed the largest increase in inhibition size compared to lavender oil, and rosemary had no antibacterial effect. These results proved the antimicrobial effect of multidrug resistance A. baumannii. Tee tree oil would be a useful alternative natural product for the treatment and prevention of most common human pathogens and MRAB infections. This is expected to be used as an antimicrobial agent, such as hand disinfectant using natural essential oil in the future.

Acinetobacter baumannii는 광범위한 항생제에 대한 저항성으로 인해 감염된 환자의 사망률이 높아지는 적색 경보 병원체로 분류됩니다. 이 연구에서 다제 내성 A. baumannii(MRAB)의 18가지 임상 분리 균주에 대해 일부 에센셜 오일(티트리, 로즈마리, 라벤더 오일)의 항균 활성을 평가하고자 하였다. Carbapenemase 선별을 위한 Hodge 시험법은 A. baumannii의 20 가지 균주가 모두 imipenem에 내성이 있음을 보여주었습니다. 다제 내성 미생물의 확인은 VITEK 시스템을 통해 수행하였다. 에센셜 오일의 항균 활성은 MRAB에 대한 디스크 확산 방법으로 평가하였다. 디스크 확산 방법에서 tee tree는 라벤더 오일에 비해 억제 크기가 가장 크게 증가했으며, 로즈마리는 항균 효과가 없었다. 티 트리 오일은 가장 일반적인 인간 병원균 및 MRAB 감염의 치료 및 예방을 위한 대체 천연 제품으로 유용할 것으로 보인다. 따라서 이 연구의 결과는 다제 내성 A. baumannii의 항균 효과를 입증했으며, 미래에 천연 에센셜 오일을 사용하는 손 소독제와 같은 항균제로 사용될 것으로 예상됩니다.
