Streptococcus iniae is among the major pathogens of a large number of fish species cultured in fresh and marine recirculating and net pen production systems. Ten Iranian medicinal plants were assessed for their antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus iniae isolates obtained from diseased Oncorhynchus mykiss (Salmonidae; Walbaum, 1972) collected from fish farms in Iran. The antibacterial activity of ethanol extracts of Punica granatum, Quercus branti, Glycyrrhiza glabra and essential oils of Heracleum lasiopetalum, Satureja bachtiarica, Thymus daenensis, Myrtus communis, Echinophora platyloba, Kelussia odoratissima and Stachys lavandulifolia against Steptococcus iniae was evaluated by disc diffusion and serial dilution assays. Most of the extracts and essential oils showed a relatively high antibacterial activity against Streptococcus iniae. Of the plants studied, the most active extracts were those obtained from the essential oils of Satureja bachtiarica, Echinophora platyloba, Thymus daenensis and the ethanol extract of Quercus branti. Some of the extracts were active against Streptococcus iniae. Two essential oils showed lower MIC values; Heracleum lasiopetalum (78 ?g/ml) and Satureja bachtiarica (39 ?g/ml). The essential oil of Satureja bachtiarica could be an important source of antibacterial compounds against the Streptococcus iniae isolated from rainbow trout.

Among the applications of medicinal plants, it is their use as antimicrobial agents. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of some essential oils against an etiological pathogen Flavobacterium spp. responsible for several lost in rainbow trout, (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hatcheries, the strains used in this study were isolated from rearing tanks water and biofilm, identified as Flavobacterium spp. based on phenotypic, biochemical and enzymatic characterizations. A collection of eight essential oils were extracted, analyzed and tested for an inhibitory activity against the isolated strains, the effect on this bacterium has been demonstrated by the aromatogram method based on a screening of bacterial growth in a solid medium culture with disks containing essential oils. Our study’s results show that the chemical composition of the extracted essential oils play a crucial role in their antibacterial activity, which varies from 6 mm up to 34 mm as maximal inhibitory diameter.

Punica granatumis commonly used in Korea as a traditional medicine for the treatment of pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we investigated thein vitroandin vivoantimicrobial activity ofP. granatumpeel EtOH extract (PGPE) against 16 strains ofSalmonella. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of PGPE were in the range of 62.5–1000 x03BCg mL-1. In addition, thein vivoantibacterial activity of the PGPE extract was examined in aS. typhimuriuminfection mouse model. Mice were initially infected withS. typhimuriumand then with PGPE. The extract was found to have significant effects on mortality and the numbers of viableS. typhimuriumrecovered from feces. Although clinical signs and histological damage were rarely observed in the treated mice, the untreated controls showed signs of lethargy and histological damage in the liver and spleen. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that PGPE has the potential to provide an effective treatment for salmonellosis.
