Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is very highly resistant to chemical antimicrobial agents. These bacteria are one of ESBL producing that great potential have for the rapid development of antibiotic resistance. The indecorous use of antibiotics is often associated with adverse effects on the human health. Because of Thyme essence has antimicrobial properties so they can be used against infections caused by MDR Acinetobacter baumannii. Thyme essence has inhibitory properties against Thyme. In this study the antimicrobial effects of Thyme essence on drug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were investigated using antimicrobial analysis with CLSI 2013 and Kirby Bauer method. The agar dilution method results revealed that Thyme essence had strong inhibitory effects against Multidrug-resistant strains of A. baumannii. Because of proper effects of plant essential oils, with a broader range of studies can be used as a complementary therapy.
