The essential of the leaves of Clausena anisata and the zest of Citrus aurantifolia extracted by water vapour training were tested on hospital bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics of the beta lactam family and Fluoroquinolons. All MIC and MBC of essential oils are between 13.5 µg/mL and 486 µg/mL. Analysis of the chemical composition of these oils made by GC/MS, GC/IR and NMR ^–13C shows the essence of Clausena anisata is rich in germacren D (12.18%), b-caryphyllen (17.51%), (E + Z) b-ocimen (17,42%), and a-pinen (7.54%). That of Citrus aurantifolia is mainly composed of 79.5% of limonen. The indices of refraction of these essential oils are very low.
