Highly significant results were obtained with this monoterpene.
Our results using serial dilutions of b-myrcene showed that b-myrcene blocks the growth of H. pylori
in vitro by minimum inhibitory concentration of 500 lg/mL.
Therefore, in vitro evaluation of the antibiotic activity of the monoterpene b-myrcene against the bacterium H. pylori revealed another therapeutically important mechanism of action of b-myrcene
