This study was carried out to evaluate Calendula Officinalis and Salvia Officinalis. The antibacterial activity of alcoholic and watery extracts of these plants was performed on bacteria isolated from human urinary tract infections including ( E.coli, Klebsiella , Proteus and pseudomonas).we studied the bacterial sensitivity to (9) antibiotics Rifampin (RA) ,Trimethoprim (TMP),Ceftriaxone (CRO), Azithromycine (AZM),Doxycycline(DO), Eerthromycin (ER), Ampcilline (AM)Sulfatmethoxazole(SXT) Cloxacillin (CX). Distilled water Calendula officinalis extract gave the highest zone of inhibition Escherichia coli O157. The ethanol and water extract indicated significant antibacterial activity (growth inhibition zone diameters ranging from 9 to 30 mm) against E.coli O 157 Similar results have been followed by pseudomonas and followed by Proteus and followed by klebsiella. Distilled water Salvia Officinalis extract gave the highest zone of inhibition on Proteus as the ethanol and water extract indicated significant antibacterial activity (growth inhibition zone diameters ranging from 15 to 29 mm) against protease , Similar results have been followed by Escherichia coli O157 (18 to 28) and followed by , Klebsiella (17- 28) and followed by Psudomonous.
