Methanolic and aqueous extracts of Cressa Cretica were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. The extracts were tested against 6 different species of human pathogenic bacteria and 4 fungal strains. Most of the extracts were devoid of antifungal and antibacterial activities, the aqueous extract of grass Cressa Cretica obtained by very good activity when compare to methanol extract, which showed strong inhibitory activity against the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This study suggests that aqueous extracts of leaves of Cressa Cretica obtained by infusion can be used in the treatment of skin diseases caused by dermatophytes.
