The present study was carried out to determine the potential antibacterial activity of extract Chamomilla nobile against some human pathogenic bacteria. The antimicrobial effect of ethanol extracts of Chamomilla nobile on pathogenic bacteria namely Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC® 19615™,Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619,Staphylococcus. saprophyticus ATCC®15305,Hafnia alvei ATCC 51873,Acinetobacter. baumannii ATCC 19606,Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212,Proteus mirabilis ATCC 35659,Serratia marcescens ATCC 274, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 2592 were determined using broth microdiluation method. The levels of MIC was observed ranges from 2.5 to 10 mg/ml. The highest MIC value was observed against Enterococcus faecalis and Serratia marcescens.
