Abstract

The composition of the essential oils of Achillea clavennae and Achillea holosericea were analyzed by GC/MS. The main constituting compounds of the A. clavennae essential oil were camphor (41.9%) and 1,8‐cineole (22.5%), while the most abundant compounds in the A. holosericea oil were borneol (30.2%) and camphor (14.8%). The antibacterial activity of the oil of A. clavennae was tested for the first time. Both examined oils showed strong activity against all tested microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger).
