Volatile compounds of Geranium sanguineum and G. robertianum were isolated by hydrodistillation, analyzed in detail by GC and GC/MS and screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity in a microdilution assay. In total, 304 constituents were identified, representing more than 90% of the isolated oils. The volatiles of G. sanguineum have been studied for the first time in this study. The antimicrobial assay showed a strong activity of the G. robertianum oil against Escherichia coli and Aspergillus fumigatus. Micrococcus flavus and A. fumigatus were the most susceptible strains to G. sanguineum oil.
