INTRODUCTION: To determine the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity essential oils of aerial parts of Ferula orientalis L., roots of Ferulago sandrasica Peșmen & Quézel and aerial parts of Hippomarathrum microcarpum Petrov.
METHODS: Essential oils were analysed by GC and GC/MS. The antimicrobial activity of the essential oils were determined with bioautography assay.

RESULTS: α-pinene (75.9%) and β-pinene (3.4%) were found as major components for aerial parts of F. orientalis; limonene (28.9%), α-pinene (15.6%) and terpinolene (13.9%) for F. sandrasica; β-caryophyllene (31.4%) and caryophyllene oxide (23.1%) for aerial parts of H. microcarpum, respectively. Essential oils from aerial parts of F. orientalis and roots of F. sandrasica and from aerial parts of H. microcarpum were active against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans strains. However, essential oils were not active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans of these species may be attributed to the presence of the main components in the essential oils.
