The rise of bacterial species opposing to antibiotics has indicated the need for new substances that enjoy antimicrobial action or act by enhancing the exercise of existing drugs. In this synopsis, essential oils are an important alternative. The present study proposed to characterize chemically and judge the antimicrobial activity of Croton blanchetianus essential lubricate. The essential oil was got by hydrodistillation and analyzed for antimicrobial action against strains of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Candida albicans (ATCC 10231), and a strain opposing to multiple medicines to Staphylococcus aureus SA-1199B by the microdilution means. GC-MS analysis recognized 29 compounds (95.32%). The main constituents were α-pinene (19.19%), caryophyllene (11.85%) and bicyclogermacrene (10.42%). The antimicrobial action was observed on strains of Candida albicans at a aggregation of 512 μg mL-1 arising as a beginning of future research for the happening of antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of contaminations caused by this overreaching fungus.
