Bactericidal Activity of Carvacrol against <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> Involves Alteration of Membrane Fluidity and Integrity through Interaction with Membrane Phospholipids
Background: Carvacrol, a mono-terpenoid phenol found in herbs, such as oregano and thyme, has excellent antibacterial properties against <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i>. However, its mechanism of bactericidal activity on <i>S. pyogenes</i> has not been elucidated. Objectives: T...
