Évaluation du pouvoir antimicrobien des huiles essentielles de sept plantes médicinales récoltées au Maroc

Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of essential oils from seven Moroccan medicinal plants

Résumé

Cette étude consiste à évaluer l’efficacité antimicrobienne de certaines HE obtenues à partir de plantes médicinales (Majorana hortensis, Myrtus communis, Mentha rotundifolia, Pelargonium graveolens, Salvia officinalis, Lavandula stoechas, Lavandula angustifolia) jugées par la médicine traditionnelle marocaine avoir un grand effet anti-infectieux. Ceci afin de rationaliser leur usage pour les appliquer comme remède alternatif aux antibiotiques face à l’émergence de multirésistance bactérienne et à l’échec de l’antibiothérapie.

Les huiles essentielles de ces plantes ont été testées seules ou en synergie sur sept souches microbiennes pathogènes multirésistantes aux antibiotiques: cinq souches bactériennes Gram(-) (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus rettgeri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa); une souche bactérienne Gram (+) (Staphylococcus aureus); et Candida albicans comme modèle de levure.

Des propriétés antimicrobiennes intéressantes des HE étudiées ont été constatées sur la majorité des germes testées. Cette activité antimicrobienne sur des levures ainsi que des bactéries Gram (+) et Gram (–) multirésistantes aux antibiotiques, peut contribuer à la lutte contre les maladies infectieuses et offrira éventuellement la possibilité d’utilisation de ces HE en industrie pharmaceutique ou agroalimentaire.

Abstract

This study consist to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of certain medicinal plants (Majorana hortensis, Myrtus communis, Mentha rotundifolia, Pelargonium graveolens, Salvia officinalis, Lavandula stoechas, Lavandula angustifolia) judged by the Moroccan traditional medicine have great anti-infective effect. In order to rationalize their use to apply as an alternative to antibiotics cure with the emergence of bacterial multidrug resistance and failure of antibiotic therapy.

The essential oils of these plants were tested on seven pathogenic multidrug resistant microbial strains: five bacterial strains Gram (-) (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus rettgeri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) one Gram (+) bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus); and Candida albicans as yeast.

Very interesting antimicrobial properties of essential oils studied have been noted against the majority of tested germs. This antimicrobial activity on yeast and Gram (+) and Gram (-) multidrug-resistant bacteria, may contribute to fight against infectious diseases and eventually offer the possibility of using pomegranate leaves in food or pharmaceutical industry.
