Abstract Essential oils are concentrated hydrophobic liquids containing volatile compounds. These oils are extracted from medicinal plants which have been used as a therapeutic agent. Essential oils are the extracted compound of the characteristic fragrance of medicinal plants and some ornamental plants. These oils are mainly used as aromatherapy and have a healing effect. These oils were primarily used as medicines in the ancient period which was very useful according to some research papers. Essential oils can also contain an enormous amount of antimicrobial activity which is used to inhibit the growth of microorganisms that are life-threatening. The Antimicrobial activity of Essential oil can be used as a disinfectant which can kill or inhibit the growth of microbes. Places such as Hospitals and healthcare centers are prone to nosocomial infections which are very dangerous and threatening to patients as well as visitors. To prevent such outbreaks of infections the health care centers and hospitals are disinfected and cleaned thoroughly and it has been a regular practice. Replacing the disinfectants with the essential oils that have such antimicrobial activity will be completely new to the organisms. The essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia [tea tree oil (TTO)] has been used medicinally for about 80 years.(9) TTO has broad-spectrum antimicrobial9 and anti-inflammatory(10,11) activity in vitro. Hammer et al.12 showed that transient skin organisms were more susceptible to TTO than commensal organisms. This finding supports the use of TTO-containing handwash products since normal skin flora represents one of the natural defenses against colonization by pathogenic organisms. Other reports have suggested that the repeated use of TTO-containing hand wash does not lead to dermatological problems associated with some formulations,14 and this finding might be used to encourage healthcare staff's compliance with handwashing. Although the antibacterial activity of TTO has been well-established in vitro. TTO has not yet been assessed using European standard methods that are now widely accepted for the evaluation of disinfectant and antiseptic efficacy. In this study, we assessed the activity of TTO and TTO-containing formulations according to two European standard suspension methods, EN 127620 and prEN 12054.
