    Abstract
    This study describes inhibitory properties of combinations of oil of fennel and paraben (methyl, ethyl or propyl) against C. albicans, E. coli and S. aureus. Bacteria or yeast were cultured in broth at 25C and viable counts were measured over a period of 24 h. E. coli was particularly sensitive to inhibition by each combination where there was <10 of units/mL at all times of culture. C. albicans and S. aureus were less susceptible to inhibition by the combination of oil of fennel and methyl paraben but very susceptible to inhibition by oil of fennel in combination with propyl paraben where after 4 h there was <10 cf units/mL. Synergistic inhibition by one or more combinations was evident against each microbe.
