Abstract
In this experiment in vitro antibacterial action of Satureja hortensis and Mentha piperita oily extracts on 10 Staphylococcus intermedius strains isolated from dogs with dermatitis was fol lowed. Oily extracts antibacterial action was compared with the efficacy of antibiotics used in dog's dermatitis treatment. Oils tested were used in 20%, 10%, 1% concentration, using the antibiograma method. For the 10 S. intermedius strains isolated from dogs with dermatitis and tested with antibiotics cephazolin, amoxicillin and enrofloxaci n had the best antibacterial effect. Thyme essential oil had good antibacterial effect for 20% and 10% with inhi bition areas compared to the one determined by the antibiotics. Antibacterial effect of mint essential oil for 10 S. intermedius strains was reduced compared to the one obtained fo r thyme, but some strains were sensitive to this pr oduct too. The tests for these extract oils revealed that for 10% concentration recommended by the producer, the antibacterial effect is good, with the possibility of an alternative in treating the affections produc ed by S. intermedius .
