The antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of n-hexane, methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate and water extracts of Tripleurospermum parviflorum (Willd.) Pobed. were evaluated in this study. The antimicrobial activities of the extracts were reported against Escherichia coli ATCC 29998, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Escherichia coli ATCC 11230, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Enterobacter cloacae ATCC 13047, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Pseudomonas aeroginosa ATCC 27853 as bacteria and Candida albicans ATCC 10239 as yeastlike fungi by disc diffusion method. Cytotoxic activity of the extracts was tested in vitro against Brine shrimp. All of the extracts showed a range of activity against the tested bacteria and brine shrimp.
