The present study describes the phytochemical profile and antibacterial activity of flowers ofMatricariachamomilla profusely prescribed in traditional medicine. The phytochemical investigations revealed many principles of bioactive properties in animal and human sterols, triterpens, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and alkaloids. The antibacterial activity was examined using agar well-diffusion method, using two extracts; distillated water andmethanolic against two gram positives (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Bacillus subtilis NCTC 8236) and two gram negatives (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853).The results showed that the methanolic extract have significant antibacterial activity. Alsothe UV spectra identify of Chaticene compound in methanolic extract of Chamomile.The current study supports theemployment of plant in folk medicine and recommends further microbiological and pharmacological studies as a promising sources for new antibacterial agents.
