Thymol exhibited lower inhibition zone than oregano EO. Antibacterial activity of thymol and the most bioactive EOs using disc diffusion method (zone of inhibition in mm) against (a) S. epidermidis with thymol and EOs at concentration of 0.7%; (b) S. epidermidis with thymol and EOs at concentration of 1.4%; (c) P. acnes with thymol and EOs at concentration of 0.7%; (d) P. acnes with thymol and EOs at concentration of 1.4%. Data is represented as means of inhibition zones (mm) ± SD. Controls used were clindamycin and erythromycin as positive control with DMSO as negative control.
