Abstract

Origanum vulgare (oregano) is an aromatic herb commonly used in the Mediterranean, widely known for its medicinal properties. In this experiment, we tested its antifungal properties against two species of Aspergillus (A. niger and A. fumigatus) and the emerging Talaromyces marneffei. We tested the plant’s antifungal activity in a range of concentrations (5, 10, 20 and 30 mg/mL) in which the plant was dissolved and mixed with growth medium (PDA) and then inoculated with the fungi. The percentage of inhibition was measured over 7 days with data being collected on the 3rd, 5th and 7th days. Fungal activity inhibition ranging from 30 to 100% was achieved against Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus and from 50 to 100% against Talaromyces marneffei. This multi-disciplinary study brought the use of plants into the veterinary sciences by using samples isolated from pets, with the aim of researching potential alternatives to traditional antifungal treatments and the ultimate goal ofincreasing animal wellbeing.
测试牛至对从宠物身上分离出的烟曲霉、尼日尔曲霉和马内菲他拉菌的潜在抗真菌活性
牛至(Origanum vulgare)是地中海地区常用的芳香草本植物,因其药用特性而广为人知。在本实验中,我们测试了牛至对两种曲霉(黑曲霉和烟曲霉)以及新出现的马内菲酵母菌(Talaromyces marneffei)的抗真菌特性。我们测试了该植物在不同浓度(5、10、20 和 30 mg/mL)下的抗真菌活性,将该植物溶解并与生长培养基(PDA)混合,然后接种真菌。在第 3、5 和 7 天收集数据,在 7 天内测量抑制率。对黑曲霉和烟曲霉的抑制率从 30%到 100%不等,对马拉色菌的抑制率从 50%到 100%不等。这项多学科研究通过使用从宠物身上分离出的样本,将植物的使用带入了兽医学领域,目的是研究传统抗真菌治疗的潜在替代品,最终目标是提高动物的健康水平。
