Sumario: Ecuador has a wide biodiversity of medicinal plants from different regions of the country, most of medicinal plants are used as such based on ancestral knowledge rather not have scientific knowledge of their medicinal properties although there are few studies on the Andean plants Ecuador, is not scientific information on the antibacterial activity of sunfo (Clinopodium nubigenum (Kunth) Kuntze.). In this experimental work the antimicrobial activity of essential oil sunfo. Was determined against four bacteria causing respiratory diseases, sunfo was collected in the moors of the parish of Pintag in the National Herbarium it was certified that it was Clinopodium nubigenum (Kunth) Kuntz., for the extraction of essential oil distillation technique was used by steam. Determining the antimicrobial activity of the oil it was tested by in vitro susceptibility tests diffusion wells using six concentrations of 5%, 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.6%, 0.3% and 0.15% essential oil, as a positive control Penicillin clemizol of 1,000,000 U.I. and DMSO negative control, using the statistical program Infostat the statistical significance of the results is established, even if there was a halation inhibition for S. aureus ATCC 25923 at concentrations 2.5% and 5% oil essential for S. mutans ATCC 25175 0.15% for S. pyogenes ATCC 19615 2.5% and 0.3% and for S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619 2.5% and 0.3% effectiveness is statistically lower compared to the positive control .
