Spanish abstract En este trabajo se presenta un estudio sobre la caracterización química del aceite esencial de Astronium graveolens Jacq, obtenido por hidrodestilación de sus partes aéreas. La separación de los componentes se realizó por CG-MS. Veintiséis compuestos (99,3%) fueron identificados, de los cuales los más importantes (84,8%) fueron trans-β-ocimeno (23.9%), α-pineno (19.8%), δ-3-careno (15.5%), α-phellandreno (12.7%), czs-ocimeno (6.4%), α-terpineol (3.3%) and p-cimeno (3.2%).El aceite esencial mostró una fuerte actividad antibacteriana, independientemente de la especie bacteriana o mecanismo de resistencia
