Background  To evaluate the in vitro activities of Ethiopian  Thymus schimperi  with other three hydro distilled essential oils against Dermatophytes ( Tricophyton spp. and Microsporum spp .) and other pathogenic micro organisms.    Methods  The studies were carried out using Agar disk diffusion method for screening the most effective essential oils and Agar dilution to determine Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the essential oils.    Results  Essential oils of  T. schimperi  and  Cinnamomum zeylanicum  were highly active against tested organisms. The MIC were in the range of 0.08 μl/ml to 0.31 μl/ml for  T. schimperi,  0.31 μl/ml to 0.16 μl/ml for  C. zeylanicum , 2.5 μl/ml to1.25 μl/ml for  Citrus limon  and 5 μl/ml to 2.5 μl/ml for  Eucalyptus camaldulensis  against  Tricophyton spp . and  Microsporum spp. T. schimperi  and  C. zeylanicum  oils also showed antimicrobial effect against  Candida albicans ,  Aspegilus niger ,  Rhodotorula rubra, Escherichia coli ,  Shigella spp .,  Bacillus spp . and  Streptococci.Conclusions  The Ethiopian  T. schimperi  oil had pronounced antifungal and antibacterial activities against all the tested microbes. Therefore, it is required further investigation in order to identify the active compounds and their clinical applications for treatment of tested organisms.

Antimicrobial potential of the Ethiopian Thymus schimperi essential oil in comparison with others against certain fungal and bacterial species
