Potentially offering an effective natural control strategy in food production, a study demonstrated the ability of select essential oils to inactivate multidrug-resistant Campylobacter isolated from poultry and investigated the mechanisms of antibacterial action, while highlighting variability in essential oil potency and species-specific susceptibility.
The moringa powder capsules are sold under the Rosabella brand name and are distributed by Ambrosia Brands LLC. The outbreak strain is resistant to all first-line and alternative antibiotics commonly recommended for salmonellosis treatment.
