Abstract :The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of different extracts from Echinops antayensis C.Vural. Antimicrobial activity was estimated against several common human pathogenic bacterial strains using the agar disc diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration assays. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH radical-scavenging assay and total phenolic content methods. On the light of these experiments, E. antalyensis would seem to be an important natural antioxidant. This study is first report on the biological activity of E. antalyensis as regarded new species from Turkey.Keywords : Anti-bacterial, Antifungal, Composite, Phenolic content, Plant extracts.
