Myrtus communis is medicinal plant with the common name known as “Ades” in Ethiopia. Despite of its antimicrobial uses, there is limited study on antimicrobial activities of essential oil against pathogenic bacterial and fungi strains. The objective of the study is to investigate antibacterial and anti-fungal activity of Myrtus communis against pathogenic bacterial strains including; Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus; fungi strains including Fusarium oxysporium and Asparegillus niger. The antibacterial activity was performed in vitro using agar disc diffusion assay and diameter of zone of inhibition was measured. The experiment was prepared in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replication. Calculations of antibacterial and antifungal activity were determined by mean value and standard deviation.
