Staphylococcus spp. is not only a commensal bacteria but also a major human pathogen that
causes a wide range of clinical infections. Recent evidence suggests that Staphylococcus has the ability
to colonize the reproductive system and to affect its structure and functions. The objective of this
study was to determine the chemical properties and antibacterial effects of select essential oils (EOs):
Amyris balsamifera L., Boswellia carterii Birdw., Canarium luzonicum (Blume) A. Gray, Cinnamomum
camphora (L.) J. Presl., Cinnamomum camphora var. linaloolifera Y. Fuita, Citrus x aurantium L., Gaultheria
procumbens L., Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers., Melaleuca ericifolia Smith., Melaleuca leucadendra L., Pogostemon
cablin (Blanco) Benth., Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck, Santalum album L., and Vetiveria zizanoides (L.) Roberty
against 50 Staphylococcus spp. cultures isolated from human semen, specifically Staphylococcus aureus,
S. capiti, S. epidermidis, S. haemoliticus, and S. hominis. The disc diffusion and broth microdilution
methods were used to assess the antimicrobial potential and to determine the minimum inhibitory
concentration (MIC) of the selected EOs. The best anti-Staphylococcus activities were found with both
methods for the essential oils of C. luzonicum (Blume) A. Gray, A. balsamifera, C. camphora, and P. cabli.
