Abstract EN

Thymus vulgaris is one of important medicinal plants, thus this study was carried out for investigation of essential oils and proteins extracts of seeds of this plant against growth of bacteria urine passes infections.

Six types of bacteria were used and which were isolated from patients infected by urine passes infections in hospital of birthhood and children in Nassirya City.

It was found that essential oils extract has a growth inhibition against these bacteria especially at concentration (1000 μg / ml), whereas proteins extract showed an inhibition against growth of bacteria generally more than essential oils extracts especially at concentration (1000 μg / ml), where proteins extract showed a highest growth inhibition against Proteus sp.

Study also showed that effect of essential oils extract against growth of bacteria, was nearly equal to effect of antibiotics, so effect of proteins extract was found to be more active than essential oils extract, compared with the effect of antibiotics used.

It was found from this study that essential oils and proteins extracts can be used as medicinal substitutions instead of antibiotics but this need further clinical studies in details.
