| Abstract | ||
| Isolation and identification of bacteria that contaminated burns in children under the age of five years in both genders treated in Al-Zahrawy hospital for the period from September to November 2009 of Seventy samples collected from burns and cultured on blood agar, 52 isolates were identified and included 24 isolates 34.28% were Staphylococcus aureus, 16 isolates 22.85% were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 6 isolates 8.57% were Escherichia coli, 4 isolates 5.71% were Klebsiella spp. and two isolates 2.85% were Proteus sp. The study also included extraction of essential oils from Myrtus communis and dried flower buds of Eugenia caryophyllata. The inhibiting effects of these oils were investigated on growth of bacteria that isolated from burns using disk diffusion method. The essential oils showed good inhibiting effects on the bacteria and the essential oil of Eugenia caryophyllata was better than Myrtus communis essential oil. | ||
