Background Tripleurospermum disciforme  (C.A.Mey.) Sch.Bip.,  Tanacetum parthenium  (L.) Sch.Bip., and  Achillea biebersteinii  Afan. are the most important species of the Asteraceae family that are used in traditional medicine as antiseptics, analgesics, and anti-ulcers. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the yield, chemical profile, and antibacterial and antifungal properties of the essential oils of these three species for the first time. For this purpose, plant materials were collected in June 2019 from Javinan region (Kashan, Iran). Results Based on the ANOVA results the species had a significant effect on yield, chemical composition, and diameter of the inhibition zone of some microorganisms ( P  ≤ 0.01). The highest yield belonged to  T. disciforme  essential oil (~ 1.433%). Analysis of essential oil compounds showed that in  T. disciforme , anisole,  p -1-cyclohexen-1-yl- (55.95%), modephene (10.00%), and  cis -β-farnesene (11.94%), in  T. parthenium , camphor (43.43%), camphene (9.40%), and bornyl acetate (6.76%), and in  A. biebersteinii  linalool (34.49%),  p -cymene (15.31%), and α-terpineol (7.43%) were the main and predominant compounds. The highest inhibition zone diameter by the essential oil of  T. parthenium  and  A. biebersteinii  against  Aspergillus brasiliensis  (~ 13 mm) was observed. The strongest inhibitory and lethal activity was related to  T. disciforme  essential oil against  Klebsiella pneumoniae ,  Shigella dysenteriae ,  Escherichia coli  (~ 8.50 mm), and  Candida albicans  (MIC and MBC = 62.5 μg/mL), which were equivalent to rifampin and twice as potent as nystatin, respectively. Conclusions Therefore, the essential oil of the studied species of Asteraceae may be a promising and potential strategy for controlling some microorganisms and a possible natural alternative to some antibiotics.
