The essential oil of the dried flowering aerial parts of Hyssopus angustifolius M.B. (Lamiaceae) collected from the suburb of Sari, Mazandaran Province, North of Iran, in May 2007, were isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by means of GC and GC-MS. The major components of H. angustifolius oil were dehydro-linalool (16.9 %), β-phellandrene (9.4 %) and β-pinene (7.9 %). The antimicrobial activity of H. angustifolius oil was studied using the disk diffusion method and determination of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Aspergilus niger and Candida albicans. The H. angustifolius oil exhibited concentration-dependent antibacterial activity on all bacteria tested. The essential oil did not show antifungal activity against fungi.
