Essential Oils and their Active Constituents Effective against Non-growing Mycobacterium intracellulare

We have newly identified several essential oils, including Ajwain, Oregano, Thyme, Mountain Savory, Palmarosa, and Litsea Cubeba and their active components such as carvacrol and citronellol, to have promising activity against M. intracellulare, and these findings may have implications for developing improved treatments for M. intracellulare infections.
