In this work, the antibacterial activity of ten essential oils, infusion extracts, and decoction extracts of some medicinal plants was tested against Listeria monocytogenes and listeria ivanovii strains. The effects of different physical conditions including temperature, pH, sodium chloride, and some organic acids were studied. The results showed that the water extracts gave the maximum bacterial inhibition, while ethanolic extract was inactive against the tested Listeria spp. The antibiotic sensitivity of L. monocytogenes LMG10470 and L. ivanovii LMZ11352 was tested against five antibiotics including imipenem, levofloxacin, amikacin, ampicillin, and amoxicillin. Imipenem was the most effective antibiotic, resulting in inhibition zones of 40 mm and 31 mm for L. monocytogenes and L. ivanovii, respectively. When imipenem mixed with Syzygium aromaticum oil, Salvia officinalis oil, Pimpinella anisum infusion, and Mentha piperita infusion each, the water extract of Moringa oleifera leaves and seeds against LMG10470 and LMZ11352 resulted in broader antibacterial activity. The antimicrobial activity of both Pimpinella anisum and Mentha piperita plant extracts is related to a variety of bioactive compounds indicated by gas chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry analysis of these two plant extracts. These two plant extracts seemed to contain many chemical compounds elucidated by gas chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and infrared radiation spectra. These compounds could be classified into different chemical groups such as ethers, heterocyclic compounds, aromatic aldehydes, condensed heterocyclic compounds, ketones, alicyclic compounds, aromatics, esters, herbicides, saturated fatty acids, and unsaturated fatty acids. The use of these natural compounds seems to be a useful technological adjuvant for the control of Listeria spp. in foods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods13182915","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,16]],"date-time":"2024-09-16T07:36:00Z","timestamp":1726472160000},"page":"2915","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Potential Use and Chemical Analysis of Some Natural Plant Extracts for Controlling Listeria spp. Growth In Vitro and in Food"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Abdul-Raouf","family":"Al-Mohammadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sciences, King Khalid Military Academy, Riyadh 11459, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8311-7946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seham","family":"Abdel-Shafi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Zagazig 44519, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6790-1028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed H.","family":"Moustafa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Zagazig 44519, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nehal","family":"Fouad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Zagazig 44519, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7794-784X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gamal","family":"Enan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Zagazig 44519, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5081-7655","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rehab A.","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Zagazig 44519, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2555","DOI":"10.1002\/fsn3.1437","article-title":"Application of essential oils and polyphenols as natural antimicrobial agents in postharvest treatments: Advances and challenges","volume":"8","year":"2020","journal-title":"Food Sci.
