Composition with antimicrobial activity containing nanoparticles of silver and essential oil of oregano

摘要

Composition with antimicrobial activity containing nanoparticles of silver and essential oil of oregano. Field of application: human health and veterinary; mainly in the pharmaceutical industries, incorporated in bandages, ointments, odontological products and others, as well as in food industries and packaging, to increase shelf life of food and prevent infection of origin al Imentar.Inhibitor of growth of bacteria important in food contamination and in hospital infections. The present invention includes the use of a composition with antibacterial activity through an additive or synergistic effect between a mixture of essential oil of oregano and silver nanoparticles obtained by the fungus fusariumoxysporum.The combined therapy in addition to prevent the selection of resistant bacteria, decreases the dose of the compounds, thereby reducing costs and adverse effects.
