Abstract:

Glechoma sardoa Bég. (Labiatae), is an endemic plant growing wild only in Sardinia and Corsica: it is a perennial, green-grey, hairy herb, with a prostrate, creeping stem, radicating at the base, 1-3 dm long. The essential oil of G. sardoa shows an interesting and particular chemical composition and microbiological tests show that the essential oil has a fair activity against Gram + bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 0.5 mg/mL) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (MIC 1mg/mL) while no activity has been observed (MIC 2mg/mL) against Candida albicans and the other Gram – bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosus) tested.
