In this study,&nbsp;<em>Satureja bachtiarica</em>&nbsp;were dried in suitable condition (in shadow) after extraction with watery, ethanol 96 %, methanol 96% and 20% glycerin antimicrobial effect of extract were determined by “screening antimicrobial activity” and “disk agar diffusion test” in 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg/ml concentration of the extract against&nbsp;<em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em>&nbsp;PTCC 1447,<em>&nbsp;Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>&nbsp;PTCC<em>&nbsp;</em>1310 and&nbsp;<em>Staphylococcus epidermidis</em>&nbsp;PTCC<em>&nbsp;</em>1435. The results showed that aqueous, ethanol 96%, methanol 96% and 20% glycerin extracts were quite effective in 2 mg/ml concentration on&nbsp;<em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Staphylococcus epidermidis</em>&nbsp;and were prevented from growth them on medium, while extracts have no certain antimicrobial effect on&nbsp;<em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa.</em>&nbsp;In “disk agar diffusion method”, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg/ml aqueous, ethanol 96%, methanol 96% and 20% glycerin extract concentrations, was inhibited effect on&nbsp;<em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Staphylococcus epidermidis</em>, but 40 mg/ml &nbsp;aqueous and 30 and 40 mg/ml ethanol 96%, methanol 96% and 20% glycerin extract concentrations, has inhibited effect on&nbsp;<em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>&nbsp;prevent them growing. The results indicate that alcoholic and aqueous extracts of&nbsp;<em>Satureja bachtiarica</em>&nbsp;have the greatest effect on gram positive bacterium&nbsp;<em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em>. As a result, aqueous and alcoholic extracts of&nbsp;<em>Satureja bachtiarica</em>, have been strong antimicrobial activity against many food pathogen bacteria.</p></div> ER -
