Abstract:The purpose of this project was to determine if peppermint oil or tea would kill/reduce the growth of sinusitis causing bacteria: E.coli and S.lactis. Bacteria were inoculated with serial dilutions of peppermint oil or tea. S.lactis growth was killed in higher concentrations of peppermint oil. Menthol was tested and is an active ingredient. These results indicate that peppermint oil does have antibacterial properties.
