The antimicrobial agent is effective in inhibiting the growth of gram-positiveStaphylococcus aureus, gram-negativeEscherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, andPseudomonas aeruginosa, acid-fast bacteriumMycobacterium smegmatis, the yeastCandida albicans. The antimicrobial agent has a MIC of 3.0 μl/ml capable of inhibiting these organisms. The antimicrobial agent includes mixtures ofOriganum vulgareL.,Thymus vulgarisL.,Cinnamomum zeylanicumNees,Rosmarinum officinalisL.,Lavandula officinalisL.,Hydrastis canadensisL. and olive leaf extract.
