Abstract

The studies revealed that plants oil possesses Antimicrobial properties, the origanum oil organized by a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. This oil extract from the Origanum vulgare found in medeternian mountain especially in Turkey. biological activities were studied to determine the effect of origanum oil on Staphylococcus aureus the result revealed that origanum oil were significantly inhibited the growth of the selected bacteria . The study showed that origanum oil has Bactericidal of effect.The inhibition zone (Hz) was determinant by using different concentration from oil as (0.5, 0.25, 0.125)mg/ml . Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of oil was estimated by using different concentration as (1/10, 1/20, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50) µg/mL, the MIC of bacteria was 1/30.
