The major compounds were Linalool (60.4), Camphor (26.5), Borneol (2.1), Geraniol (2.1), Limonene (1.3) and Camphene (1.2). In this investigation arabic gum solution was control and different dilutions of essential oil of Zhumeria majdae were treatments. The dilutions of essential oil (0 ,20 ,40 , 60 percent) on Staphylococcos aureous and the dilutions of essential oil (0 ,20 percent) on Escherichia coli had MIC property. The dilutions of essential oil (80 , 100 percent) on Staphylococcos aureous and the dilutions of essential oil (40 ,60, 80, 100 percent) on Escherichia coli had MBC efficacy.
