Antibacterial activity of Thymus vulgaris (thyme) essential oil against strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus saprophyticus isolated from meat product.

Thyme oil demonstrated strong inhibitory and bactericidal effects against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, common pathogens in meat products. It also showed anti-adherent activity. Thyme oil could be a natural alternative in fighting foodborne diseases.
