The present study was undertaken to investigate the chemical composition and effectiveness of the
essential oil isolated from Echinophora spinosa on different bacterial and fungal species. Chemical analysis
(GC/MS) showed that δ³-carene (60,86 %), α-phellandrene (7,12%), p-cymene (6,22 %), myrcene (4,82 %) and
β-phellandrene (2,73 %) were dominant components in this oil. Essential oil tested showed good antimicrobial
activity. Antimicrobial potential of this oil was higher than potential of commercial antimicrobial drugs tested,
streptomycin, bifonozole and ketoconazole.
