Table 3.

Antimicrobial activity of Satureja montana ethanolic extract and essential oil, and of the six pure compounds against the Campylobacter jejuni 11,168 efflux pump mutants, in terms of their minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). ΔcmeB, lacking functional efflux pump CmeABC; ΔcmeR, lacking repressor of efflux pump CmeABC; ΔcmeF, lacking functional efflux pump CmeDEF; and ΔcmeG, lacking functional efflux pump CmeGH.
