The research for new antimicrobial drugs has increased in a pharmaceutical industry as well as in the food industry. This happens due to the increase in the number of bacteria resistant to antimicrobial agents, and the search for food preservatives which make possible the increase in the shelf life of foods. The interest in healthier foods, especially those without addition or with reduced amounts of chemical additives is increasing constantly. The natural products, especially of microbial origin and plant species are considered important sources for the development of new antimicrobial. This study purpose to evaluate the antibacterial activity of essential oils from plants, their major compounds, the antibacterial action of nisin (bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis) and the antibacterial activity of the combination of these major compounds with nisin in culture medium and in milk. First was evaluated antimicrobial activity with determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the essential oils of oregano (Origanum vulgare), thyme (Tymus vulgaris), clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and cinnamon (Cinnamomun zeylanicum) and their major compounds carvacrol , thymol, eugenol and cinnamaldehyde, and nisin on ATCC strains of bacteria of importance in the food industry: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli O157 ATCC 43895, Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 10100, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 15313, Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 7966 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 9595 using the microdilution method in Mueller Hinton Broth medium (MHC). In some cases the inhibitory activity of essential oils has been higher than the activity of the respective isolated compound, and in others the inhibitory activity of the compound isolate was greater than that of the respective essential oils, whereas nisin was active against Gram-positive bacteria and a lower inhibitory ...
