The aim of the study: to test the antibacterial effect of Cinnamon bark essential oil invitro.

Methods: The antibacterial activity test was carried out in vitro using the disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer), with six concentrations of cinnamon bark essential oil, namely 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32Ï€l / ml. The bacteria used were Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853

Results: The diameter of the clear zone formed was different at each concentration (p<0.05), both for E. coli S. pneumoniae or P. aeruginosa bacteria.

Conclusion: Cinnamon bark essential oil have antibacterial activity against E.coli, S. Pneumoniae and P. Aeruginosa bacteria
