Analyses of the leaf oils from three colletions of Lippia origanoides H.B.K. by GC/MS and 1H- and 13C-NMR showed a similar chemical composition. Carvacrol (33.5–42.9%) was identified as the major component together with γ-terpinene (8.0–10.5%), thymol (5.1–8.4%), methyl thymol (6.1–8.7%) and p-cymene (11.9–15.8%). In vitro evaluation of the oils showed significant antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococus aureus, Staphylococus aureus MRSA, Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis.
