Abstract :The proposed study introduces each of  root, stalk, leaf, flowers and seed of Crithmum maritimum is extracted with five different organic solvents such as chlorophorm, hexane, acetone, ethanol and  methanol. Antibacterial activities of these extracts were tested against four Gram insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(+); bacteria: Enterococcus faecalis ATCC29212, Staphylococcus epidermidis  ATCC 12228, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium; five Gram insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(-); bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimurium  ATCC 14028, Escherichia coli K-12, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. The in vitro antibacterial activity was performed by agar disc diffusion method.In conclusion, it  was determined that Crithmum maritimum has got antibacterial activity.
