Abstract
Abstract The effects of Matricaria chamomilla and Thymus vulgaris plant extracts were studied on Growth inhibition of the pathogenic bacteria of pharyngitis and tonsillitis Infections .The chemical tests were made for preparing the extracts, the watery, alcoholic and oily extracts of M. chamomilla contained resins, tannins ,phenols, flavonoids ,tenpins ,steroids ,alkaloids ,glycosides and volatile oils when prepared extracts as well as T. vulgaris contained resins ,tannins, phenols, flavonoids ,terpens, steroids ,alkaloids ,glycosides ,saponins and volatile oils in prepared extracts. The anti-microbial activity of these extracts was tested on eight types of pathogenic bacteria which were isolated from tonsillitis and pharyngitis infections, since the water extract, alcoholic extract and oily extract for M. chamomilla, T. vulgaris were prepared in concentrations of (5,15,30,45,60,120 mg/ml) .The inhibitory effect of these extracts were studied for all the isolated bacteria which showed variable sensitivity for these extracts .Watery and oily extracts for M. chamomilla were more effective on isolated bacteria . in comparison with alcoholic extract which was with variable effect. Extracts of T. vulgaris of alcoholic and oily were more effective on isolated bacteria in comparison with watery extracts which were with variable effect ,the Minimum inhibition concentration(MIC) of alcoholic and watery and oily extracts were also determined and the results showed variable concentrations according to type of extract and bacterial species
