The extracts of Myrtus communis L. werescreened in vitro for their antimicrobial activities using disc diffusion method against four test bacteria.The antimicrobial test results showed that the inhibition zones have been measured between 7 to 16 mm.S. aureus was the most sensitive one to all concentrations of all M. communis L. samples. P. aeruginosawas the most resistant one to all concentrations of M. communis L. sample from Yeflil Belde. Theantioxidant activity of MeOH extracts has also been determined by DPPH assay. This is the first reportof comparative antimicrobial and antioxidant study for M. communis L. samples collected from differentregions from Marmaris/ Mugla/ Turkey
