The preferred treatment is penicillin and erythromycin for patients with allergies. Therefore, new treatment alternatives, such as medicinal plants, were needed; thus, Zingiber officinale essential oil was used in different concentrations. Objective: To assess the in vitro antibacterial effect of Zingiber officinale essential oil against the Streptococcus pyogenes. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative, experimental in vitro design to evaluate inhibition. A categorical indicator (Duraffourd) will be used for the described variables. The statistical program SPSS 26.0 was employed for the results presentation. Results: Out of the sixty samples tested, the 100% ginger essential oil concentration significantly inhibits S. pyogenes compared to the halos represented with 25% of the ginger essential oil (Bonferroni=-22.167; P=0.002). Similarly, 100% ginger essential oil did not significantly differ from penicillin and inhibits similarly (Bonferroni=-13.167; P=0.063). Significant differences were observed between the inhibition halo and the different concentrations (Kruskal-Wallis=55.583; P=0.000). Conclusion: Streptococcus pyogenes exhibited sensitivity to the antimicrobial effects of ginger essential oil. Ginger essential oil at concentrations of 50% and 100% demonstrated higher inhibition capacity against S. pyogenes.
