Abstrakt: According to the world health organisation, the infectious diseases is defined as an infection caused by various microorganism such as bacteria, fungi, virus, prions and protozoa where the bacterial disease is the leading cause of death which may be transmitted through the skin and mucosal membrane. The bacterial disease has caused about 58% of mortality rate. The essential oils are highly volatile substances obtained from the distillation process. The essential oil is well known for its medicinal uses and used against various diseases. The objective of the study is to develop novel antibacterial strip from the essential oils of Illicium verum and Cinnamomum zeylanicum. The work involves extraction and analysis of essential oils from both sources, then the essential oil was characterised using biochemical assay. The essential oils were screened for their potential anti-microbial activity. The essential oil from Illicium verum and Cinnamomum showed good result in every assay. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the essential oil was analysed against the bacteria and finally, the anti-bacterial strip was developed which displayed good wound healing property and prevents the entry of bacteria through wounds and cuts.
