In traditional medicine, Mentha pulegium was used for sinusitis treatment, gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory disorders and food detoxity. In this research, Mentha pulegium essential oil (MPEO) antibacterial activity on some foodborne pathogens was considered. For research on MPEO interaction with chloramphenicol and gentamicin antibiotic, sub-minimum inhibitory concentration was used. The results showed that in growth medium MPEO able to control pathogen microorganisms. The inhibition zone diameter (IZD), in disk diffusion method for Listeria innocua, Staphylococus aureus, Escherchia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria was 16/50, 14/60, 10, 14, 10 mm respectively. The mean of IZD in well diffusion method for Listeria innocua, Staphylococus aureus, Escherchia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria was 14/40, 16, 12, 14/30, 10, 10/10 mm respectively. The results showed that in combination of MPEO with gentamicin antibiotic, for all bacteria, synergistic was observed. In combination of MPEO, with chloramphenicol antibiotic in Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, synergistic state was observed. Minimum inhibitory concentration in MPEO for all bacteria was 6/25 mg/ml. In general, with regard to acquired results, one can use MPEO for pathogenic microorganisms growth control in foods.

Candidal vulvovaginitis occurs in female genital by the over growth of candida especially candida albicans. Noticing the daily increase of drug resistance, attempts should be made for providing anti-fungal and anti-microbial drugs. This study is to determine the comparison of concentration in-vitro effects of Zataria multiflora Boiss and Mentha pulegium Essential Oil plants Composition with one of them Nystatin on Candida albicans Isolates of Vaginal Candidiasis and comparing their with standard.

This experimental study assessed the antimicrobial effect of 2 plant extracts on Candida Albicans. Zataria multiflora Boiss and Mentha pulegium were selected based on previous researches and traditional usel. On each plate, one plant extract disc, one nystatin disc (aspositive control) and one blank disc (as negative controls) were placed. The mean diameter of non-growth halo around each plant extract was compared with the mean diameter of non-growth halo of positive control discs after 24 hours.Data analysis was done by ANOVA statistical test.

There was significant different between the diameter of non-growth halo around the plant extracts and nystation discs. (p<0.05).

Zataria multiflora Boiss and Mentha pulegium exhibited antifungal effects on C. Albincans But the effect of Mentha pulegium on the lack of growth of Candida Albicans strains was greater than that in Zataria multiflora Boiss.
