OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.	This study investigated the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of essential oils (EOs) against Aeromonas spp. as a major pathogens in aquaculture. Few EOs were tested in vitro and their activity was analysed and evaluated in the output.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in English	In this study, we evaluated in vitro antibacterial activity of EOs against fish pathogens, Aeromonas spp., isolated from rainbow trout. Firstly, the disc diffusion method was used to examine eight EOs for their antibacterial activity (thyme, oregano, peppermint, tea tree, eucalyptus, knee timber, rosemary, and pine EO). Consequently, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for four EOs with the most effective activity, the time–kill curve was determined for thyme and oregano EOs, and their effect was observed at the morphological level by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally, EOs with the strongest antibacterial activity were tested for their antibiofilm activity against isolates with confirmed biofilm formation.

Antimicrobial Activity of Teat Antiseptic Formulations Based on Plant Extracts for Controlling Bovine Mastitis: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation. Vet Sci. 2025 Mar 21;12(4):293. doi: 10.3390/vetsci12040293. PMID: 40284795; PMCID: PMC12031223.
OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice	This study provides information about the beneficial activities of eight EOs. Due to their properties, EOs are promising antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents. Particularly, thyme and oregano EOs proved effective against fish pathogen Aeromonas spp. and also showed significant antibiofilm activity at low concentrations, followed by tea tree EO and peppermint EO. Their use in aquaculture is promising and represents one of the alternative possibilities that may help to reduce outbreaks of bacterial diseases in this sector.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational process	The issue of increasing resistance concerns not only fish and their immediate environment, but also humans as part of the food chain. Therefore, it is essential to raise awareness in this area about the danger of transmission of resistant bacteria, but also about the possibilities of preventing infections with natural substances, especially in productive animal husbandry, not only fish.
