Antimicrobial activity of essential oils and other plant extracts
The results of this study support the notion that plant essential oils and extracts may have a role as pharmaceuticals and preservatives.
Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil: a Review of Antimicrobial and Other Medicinal Properties
This review summarizes recent developments in understanding of the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of the tea tree oil and its components, as well as clinical efficacy.
Antifungal activity of the components of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil
The objective is to investigate the in vitro antifungal activity of the components of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil to find out if it acts as a ‘spatially aggregating agent’ or ‘neutralizer’ to fungi.

Broth micro-dilution method for determining the susceptibility of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus to the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil).
A broth micro-dilution method was used to examine the susceptibility of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus to the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil) to enhance the solubility of tea tree oil in the test medium.
In-vitro activity of essential oils, in particular Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil and tea tree oil products, against Candida spp.
Tests on three intra-vaginalTea tree oil products showed these products to have MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations comparable to those of non-formulated tea tree oil, indicating that the tea treeOil contained in these products has retained its anticandidal activity.
In vitro activity of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil against dermatophytes and other filamentous fungi.
In vitro activity of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil against dermatophytes and filamentous fungi showed germinated conidia to be more susceptible than non-germinated Conidia, demonstrating that tea tree oil has both inhibitory and fungicidal activity.
