In general, extracts obtained by extraction method showed antibacterial activity against different tested microorganisms. Agar well diffusion method was used to evaluate antibacterial activity against ten pathogens which include 7 different strains of E. coli, 2 strains of Klebsiella pneumoni and 1 strain of Entercoccus faecalis. According to the results of this study, Essential oils of Melaleuca plant showed the good antibacterial action of the bacterial strains due to the measurement of clear zone of inhibition but antibiotic susceptibility assay was more appreciable.
