Abstract

Quantity and quality of essenial oilof Satureja laxiflora G. koch was studied before and after flowering stages. Their antimicrobial activities investigated against Psudomonas aeruginosa, Esheirchia coli and Staphylococcus areous and compared with Gentamicin and Tetracycline discs. Results indicated that the inhibitory effect of essential oil of plant before flowering stage was more active against Esherchia coli and Staphylococcus areous than Psudomonas aeruginosa. The essential oil after flowering stage had more activity on Psudomonas aeruginosa.
