AB  - Lavender flower and essential oil are traditionally used for relief of mild
mental stress and to aid sleep. Staphylococcus spp. are part of skin microbiota and
frequent contaminants of the wounds. The aim of the study was to investigate the
composition and antimicrobial activity of lavender oils on standard strains of bacteria,
wound isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus and also the activity of
the oil in the combination with gentamicin. The essential oils were analysed by GCFID/
GC-MS. Sensitivity of seven standard bacterial strains and eight wound isolates
of staphylococci were examined by disk-diffusion or broth-microdilution method. The
dominant components in the essential oils of lavender flower were: linalool, linalyl
acetate and camphor and in oil of leaves and stems borneol, 1,8-cineol and camphor.
The essential oil of lavender inhibited the growth of laboratory bacterial strains (MIC
0.125 – 1 mg/ml). The best activity (0.125 mg/ml) was obtained with commercial
samples that contained higher content of camphor and borneol. The essential oil of
lavender flower (2%) inhibited the growth of multiresistant wound isolates of
staphylococci. Significant synergistic effects against Staphylococcus spp. were
observed in combinations of subinhibitory concentrations of essential oils (15.6 – 31.2
μg/ml) and gentamicine (0.06 – 0.25 μg/ml).
