<i>In Vitro</i> and <i>In Silico</i> Antimicrobial Activity against Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> of Essential Oils from Four Medicinal Plants in Xuan Thuy Mangrove Forest.

ABSTRACT: Sphagneticola trilobata, Vitex rotundifolia, Vitex trifolia, and Annona glabra are medicinal plants found in Xuan Thuy mangrove forest that contain essential oils (EOs) and the potential to treat infections. The obtained yields of hydrodistillation essential oil from aerial parts and leaves ranged from 0.01% to 0.12% (v/w) on a fresh-weight basis. Subsequently, in vitro assessments indicated that the EOs of A. glabra, S. trilobata, and V. trifolia displayed antibacterial effects against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), with S. trilobata exhibiting bactericidal effects at minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of 0.2% EO, and A. glabra exhibitin
