Summary. The paper presents the results of microbiological studies to determine the bactericidal activity of essential oils in relation to standard test microorganisms. The bactericidal activity of some natural essential oils in the complex with benzalkonium chloride and silver nanoparticles has been investigated. The general characteristic of active substances of vegetable oils in relation to their influence on the organism of animals and people with the manifestation of anti-inflammatory and stimulating action has been presented. Microorganisms, in prolonged contact with silver nanoparticles and essential oils, practically do not produce resistance to them, which is a significant advantage of essential oils in comparison with antibiotics and it may be used in human and veterinary medicine.

Keywords: essential oils, disinfection, test microorganisms, silver nanoparticles, benzalkonium chloride, broth cultures, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, bactericidal activity
