ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate the antibacterial activity of the essential oil of Myrtus communis (M.communis

Methods:

Wild populations of M. communis collected from Khuzestan and Lorestan provinces, Southwest Iran, were examined for antibacterial activity and chemical variability in leaves. Thein vitro antibacterial activity against E. rhusiopathiae was performed by agar disc diffusion and micro-dilution assays.

Results:

) L. against Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (E. rhusiopathiae) in vitro. in both assays. The results showed that the major components of the oil were α-pinene (22.3%-55.2%), 1,8-cineole (8.7%-43.8%) and linalool (6.4%-14.5%). The inhibition zones and MIC values for bacteria which were sensitive to the essential oils of M. communis were in the range of 14.7-27.0 mm and 0.031-0.25 mg/mL, respectively.

Conclusions:

This study demonstrates that products with valuable antibacterial activity can be The essential oils of M. communis have strong antibacterial against E. rhusiopathiae produced from leaves of M. communis against E. rhusiopathiae.
