The main aim of this study was to determine antioxidant properties and antibacterial activity of flavonoids and tannins extracted from Phlomis bovei De Noé. Antioxidant activity was assayed by the DPPH radical scavenging activity mechanism and the reducing power test, however, in the antimicrobial activity, the extracts were tested against fungi (Aspergillus niger 2CA936, Aspergillus flavius NRRL3357 and Candida albicans ATCC1024), Grampositive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 13311).
