Antibacterial potential of 10 monoterpenes, isolated from the essential oil of Lavandula stoechas L., and identified as camphor, borneol, caryophyllene, cineole, alpha-terpineol, fenchol, linalyl acetate, citronellol, camphene and bita-pinene was investigated against seven species of gram (+) bacteria viz., Bacillus megaterium, B. subtilis, B. thuringiensis, Sarcina lutea, Staphylococcus albus, S. aureus and S. epidermidis and 12 species of gram (-) bacteria viz., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Micrococcus luteus, M. roseus, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, S. paratyphi, Shigella boydii, S. dysenteriae, S. flexneri and S. sonnei. Kanamycin was used as standard antibacterial compound. Camphor, borneol and cineole appeared to be the most potent antibacterial agents than other active compounds.
