The chemical compositions of both essential oils were analyzed using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Antibacterial activity was determined through disk diffusion and microdilution assays, while the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) was used to measure the synergistic effect of CSEO and colistin. The major constituents of CSEO were α-pinene (59.03%), δ-3 Carene (21.48%), D-limonene (5.62%) and α-thujene (3.08%), while EGEO contained eucalyptol (52.1%), α-pinene (26.51%), γ-terpinene (4.81%) and D-limonene (3.54%). The inhibition zone diameters (IZDs) against E. coli and M. sciuri ranged from 6 to 29 mm for CSEO and 9.3 to 28.6 mm for EGEO. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) showed a range of 4 to 512 µg/mL for CSEO against M. sciuri and 2 to 426.66 µg/mL for EGEO. For E. coli, MICs ranged from 170.66 to 512 µg/mL for CSEO and 53.33 to 512 µg/mL for EGEO.

Furthermore, the disruption of cell membrane permeability and potential was found by TAK-285 on S. aureus, suggesting its targeting of cell membrane integrity.
