摘要

According to the WHO analysis, antibacterial treatment which is preferred for treating peptic ulcers and oral health problems are considered as a major improvement in the treatment but are responsible for several health problems that include vomiting, diarrhea and the increase in the bacterial resistance is a major concern. So, there is an urgent need for a good therapeutic alternative which is effective. Usage of essential oils to treat different ailments is found to be extremely effective with no side effects. Thus, essential oils are gaining importance in treatments due to their antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal properties. Essential oils are also used as aroma therapeutic agents. They are complex mixture of low molecular weight compounds that include terpenoids, phenylpropanoids, oxygenated derivatives (aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, esters) which greatly differ in composition in different essential oils are the major components present. The bioactive properties and their medical potential are widely used in pharmaceutical industries. In this study, we use these essential oils to prepare a disinfectant and analyze the antimicrobial properties using the agar diffusion method. Our major concern in this study is to decrease the growth of Escherichia coli which causes urinary infection, by using disinfectant prepared using a mixture of essential oils of particular concentration.
