Implication

This analysis assesses Citrus aurantiifolia essential oil's antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant strains, suggesting limited efficacy in antibiotic combination.

Key Points

Citrus aurantiifolia essential oil showed limited antibacterial activity against bacterial strains, failing to inhibit growth effectively.
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values varied significantly, ranging from 0.5 to 512 μg/mL, indicating varying susceptibility of bacteria.
Assessment of synergy with antibiotics revealed no significant potentiation, with combined use increasing gentamicin's MIC against S. aureus.
The findings denote the need for further exploration of alternative therapies, as existing essential oils may not provide sufficient antibacterial support.
