Antimicrobial assays showed that the November essential oil is more effective than that of April against the Gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. The April essential oil displayed the highest activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
