The search for new therapeutic alternatives is becoming urgent. Essential oils are a promising alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of essential oils from selected plants on multidrug-resistant zoonotic strains isolated from dogs. Essential oils from dried\n Thymus vulgaris<\/jats:italic>\n leaves,\n Cinnamomum verum<\/jats:italic>\n bark and\n Cuminum cyminum<\/jats:italic>\n seeds were extracted and tested on five multidrug-resistant\n Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n and four\n Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n isolated from dogs in southern Benin. The study showed that\n T. vulgaris<\/jats:italic>\n essential oil was bacteriostatic, with an MIC equal to 2.5\u2009\u00b5l\u2009ml\n \u22121<\/jats:sup>\n and a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 17\u2009\u00b5l\u2009ml\n \u22121<\/jats:sup>\n for\n E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n strains and 11.25\u2009\u00b5l\u2009ml\n \u22121<\/jats:sup>\n for\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n strains. Regarding\n C. verum<\/jats:italic>\n essential oil, its bacteriostatic power was characterized by an MIC of 1.25\u2009\u00b5l\u2009ml\n \u22121<\/jats:sup>\n for the isolates tested and an average MBC of 11.50\u2009\u00b5l\u2009ml\n \u22121<\/jats:sup>\n for\n E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n and 12.19\u2009\u00b5l\u2009ml\n \u22121<\/jats:sup>\n for\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n . On the other hand,\n C. cyminum<\/jats:italic>\n essential oil was ineffective on the strains investigated. Additionally,\n T. vulgaris<\/jats:italic>\n essential oil contained predominantly thymol (36.57%), p-cymene (30.51%) and carvacrol (7.62%), whilst\n C. verum<\/jats:italic>\n essential oil contained cinnamaldehyde (88.76%). This study reveals the antibacterial activity of\n T. vulgaris<\/jats:italic>\n dry leaf and\n C. verum<\/jats:italic>\n bark essential oils on multi-resistant\n E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n and\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n isolated from dogs. These two essential oils may be alternative candidates for combating antibiotic-resistant\n E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n and\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n infections.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/acmi.0.000975.v3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]],"date-time":"2025-04-28T13:16:43Z","timestamp":1745846203000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Antibacterial activity of Cinnamomum verum and Thymus vulgaris essential oils on multidrug-resistant zoonotic bacteria isolated from dogs in southern Benin"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Ayaovi Bruno","family":"Yaovi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit on Communicable Diseases, Polytechnic School of Abomey-Calavi, University of Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arpita","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee, Uttarakhand 247667, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rama N.","family":"Behera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee, Uttarakhand 247667, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulin","family":"Azokpota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, University of Abomey-Calavi, 03 B.P. 2819 Jericho-Cotonou, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soua\u00efbou","family":"Farougou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit on Communicable Diseases, Polytechnic School of Abomey-Calavi, University of Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lamine","family":"Baba-Moussa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Typing in Microbiology, Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi 05 BP 1604, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franck","family":"Michels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Chemistry of Natural Molecules, Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, Liege University, Passage des D\u00e9port\u00e9s 2, Gembloux 5030, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie-Laure","family":"Fauconnier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Chemistry of Natural Molecules, Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, Liege University, Passage des D\u00e9port\u00e9s 2, Gembloux 5030, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiran","family":"Ambatipudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee, Uttarakhand 247667, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4154-9211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philippe","family":"Sessou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit on Communicable Diseases, Polytechnic School of Abomey-Calavi, University of Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"345","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s44197-024-00192-x"},{"key":"R2","article-title":"Tackling drug-resistant infections globally: final report and recommendations (report)","author":"O\u2019Neill","year":"2016"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/antibiotics12030487"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4102\/ojvr.v89i1.1970"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/antibiotics12020254"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/biom10060860"},{"key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5138\/09750185.2259"},{"key":"R8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2021.600139"},{"key":"R9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4314\/jab.v109i1.12"},{"key":"R10","first-page":"10","article-title":"Etude phytochimique, activit\u00e9s antiradicalaire, antibact\u00e9rienne et antifongique d\u2019extraits de sebastiania chamaelea (L.)
