Background. In recent years due to appearance of resistant bacteria and slow progress in new antibiotics development, scientists have been searching for essential oils which can be offered to treat human infections. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of rose and Eremothecium oils on some bacterial cultures from the sub-department collection.
Materials and methods. The bacteria strains and isolates from the Department educational and research collection of microorganisms were investigated. The study of resistance of rose and Eremothecium oils was carried out by the disk-diffusion method.
Results. The comparative estimation has shown prevalence of bactericidal action on the tested cultures in concentrations 20–100 μg per disk. In some cases there was no inhibition of bacteria growth.
Conclusions. The antibacterial action of rose and Eremothecium oils on Bacillus megatherium, B. anthracoides, Psеudomonas aeruginosa, Myxococcus species has been revealed.
