Abstract
Fractionation of the resin Ladano from Cistus creticus subsp. creticus and susceptibility testing using the chromatographic fractions showed that its antistaphylococcal activity was mainly due to the diterpene sclareol. The antimicrobial activity of its essential oil, of the chromatographic fractions, and of the isolated compounds was also evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus hominis.
