The major components of the studied essential oil are thymol (61.52%), p-cimene (7.55%), carvacrol (6.54%), γ-terpin (5.56%). The high antimicrobial activity of the essential oil against reference cultures and clinical isolates of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms has been established, which indicates the prospects of its use as a potential antibacterial drug of natural origin.
