摘要: Allium roseum L. var. odoratissimum, a North African endemic species, grows in the Southeast of Tunisia and is used as vegetable, spice or herbal remedy traditional medicine. This study deals with phytochemical analyses antimicrobial activity screening A. leaves. Aqueous extracts (maceration, digestion, decoction infusion) organic (petroleum ether, dichloromethane, methanol ethanol) were screened for their antibacterial activity. Phytochemical showed presence active compounds such saponins, tannins, flavonoids, coumarins, steroids, cardiotonic glycosides, free quinone iridoids. The petroleum ether ethanolic exhibited wide spectrum activities against Staphylococcus aureus, epidermidis, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Such results may establish good support to use this plant medicine base development new drugs phytomedicine. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Allium odoratissimum (Desf.) Coss widely remedy. Besides its culinary use, also folk treatment headaches, rheumatism, respiratory tract infection low appetite. In article, we validate species through chemical constituents (saponins, quinones iridoids), which are responsible pharmacological properties mentioned earlier, particularly activity. For example, exhibits
