Abstract

In the current study, in vitro antimicrobial activity of Juniperus oxycedrus essential oils was screened against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sp, Bacillus sp, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Candida albicans by using disc and well diffusion, minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) and minimum microbiocidal concentration (MBC) methods. Juniperus oxycedrus essential oils have moderate inhibition activity with diameters ranging from 7 mm to 19 mm, when S. aureus was the most sensitive strain then P. aeruginosa was the most resistant. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were ranging from 250 µl/ml to 500 µl/ml while minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) were  500 µl/ml. This study shows that Juniperus oxycedrus could be a good candidate in the search for new active compounds based on herbal against these common pathogens.
