    Annotation Natural components, particularly those derived from medicinal plants, provide a promising source of new antimicrobialagentsforthetreatmentofrespiratoryinfections. In this work, we studied the antimicrobial potency of Thymus capitatus ethanolic extract against nine microorganisms isolated fromclinicalmaterialobtainedfrompatientsadmittedto hospitals in Egypt and Germany with infections of the respiratory tract (bacterial sinusitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis and bronchitis)usingthediscdiffusionassayandminimuminhibitory concentration (MIC) values. All isolates obtained from the Giessen University Clinic (Germany) exhibit susceptibilityofdifferentextenttotheplantextracttested.Thegrowthinhibition zone diameters for nine strains were in the range of 13?15.5 mm at a concentration of 5 mg/disc.
