Objective: This research was done to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Stachys inflate extract. Methods: In this study, anti-bacterial effect of water, alcoholic, phenolic extracts of Stachys inflate (Labiatae.) on Staphylococcal skin eruption was Investigated. Effect of different concentrations extracts of Stachys inflata leaf, stem and flower was tested by to add in medium culture of Staphylococcuses of skin eruption before autoclaving and bacteria was added in medium culture after autoclaving. Results: The results showed that some concentration of water extracts of Stachys inflata flower and leaves have strong anti-microbial effects.
