Abstract
The effect of the essential oil of the Achillea fragrantissima (Forssk.) Sch. Bip. (Asteraceae) plant on some bacterial species pathogenic to humans, such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus, was studied. The results showed resistance of P. aeruginosa to the highest studied concentration of oil (10 µL/mL), while the MIC for E. coli ranged between 3 L/mL and 4.5 µL/mL, while MIC for Staphylococcus aureus was 5 µL/mL.

Keywords
Oil; Achillea fragrantissima; Minimum inhibition concentration; Pathogenic bacteria; Resistance; Macro dilution method.

Resumo
Estudo do efeito do óleo de Achillea fragrantissima (Forssk.) Sch. Bip. (Asteraceae) sobre alguns tipos de bactérias patogênicas. Foi estudado o efeito do óleo essencial da planta Achillea fragrantissima sobre algumas espécies bacterianas patogênicas ao homem, como Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Staphylococcus aureus. Os resultados mostraram resistência de P. aeruginosa à maior concentração de óleo estudada (10 µL/mL), enquanto a CIM para E. coli variou entre 3 µL/mL e 4,5 µL/mL, enquanto a CIM para Staphylococcus aureus foi de 5 µL/mL.
