الملخص

Recently, pathogenic bacteria have become increasingly resistant to the most commonly used antibiotics, and therefore it becomes necessary to find another active ingredient that participates in controlling pathogens. Satureja Thymbra and hops of mountain thyme, an aromatic plant endemic to the Green Mountain region, Libya. The essential oils obtained from the plant of Zgheir were used for treatment and the antimicrobial activity was evaluated. The oil was chemically analyzed to determine the active antimicrobial components using. A chromatography device integrated with gas chromatography mass spectrometry, 20 compounds were identified at a rate of (76.18%) of the total components of the essential oil of the gelatinous thyme Satureja Thymbra from the intermediate site, where the presence of Thy Mol (29.69) was the highest percentage of presence in mountain thyme oil from the compounds. The antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of mountain thyme was analyzed against several types of pathogens using the essential oil dilution (50% 25% 12% 6%,3%). Results showed that 100% oil dilution was most effective for the tested pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli ATC (25922)).
