Synergistic Antibacterial Activity of the Essential Oil of Aguaribay (Schinus molle L.)

Synergistic Antibacterial Activity of the Essential Oil of Aguaribay (Schinus molle L.)

Schinus molle L. (aguaribay, aroeira-falsa, “molle”, family Anacardiaceae), a native of South America, produces an active antibacterial essential oil extracted from the leaves and fruits. This work reports a complete study of its chemical composition and determines the an...
