*2.3. Antimicrobial Capacity*

The microdilution assay was used to determine the antimicrobial potential of *S. viticina* essential oil against Methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA), *S. aureus*, *E. faecium*, *S. sonnie*, *P. aeruginosa*, *E. coli*, *E. floccosum*, and *C. albicans*. The EO inhibited the growth of all of the studied bacterial and fungal strains to different degrees. The highest antibacterial activity was recorded against MRSA, followed by *E. coli* with MIC values of 0.039 and 0.078 mg/mL, respectively, while the highest antifungal activity observed was against *E. floccosum* with MIC value of 0.78 mg/mL as presented in Table 3.
