*Rashid Rahim Hateet and Noor Bassel Alhashmy

Abstract

The current study included volatile oil extraction from Elettaria sp plant and diagnosis composite Using some chemical spectral techniques such as Infra-Red spectrum (IR and Gas Chromatography Mass (GC\Mass) 34 compound were identified in essential oil extract of leaves of Elettaria sp and evaluated the antibacterial activity against six bacterial species E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Psedomonas aeurginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae. Klebsiela pneumoniae and Bacillus cerrus, which showed the antibacterial activity of the against bacterial high and inhibion of different diameters ranged between (12.5-30.0mm) exception Ps.erugenosa was resistance for essential oil teste. The current study also included identifying Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) to essential oil, Where was less minimum inhibitory concentration is ranged between (05-400μl).

Keywords: Elettaria sp, Essential oil, Antibacterial, bacteria.
