In this study, the antimicrobial potential of Crambe orientalis subsp. orinetalis var. orientalis was determinedby comparative analysis of the fatty oil obtained from its fruits and methanolic and aqueous extracts obtainedfrom different parts of the plant (flowers, leaves, roots, fruits, and aerial parts). Plant materials were extractedusing maceration and decoction methods, and their yields were compared. Decoction techniques generallyyielded higher amounts, with the aerial parts being the richest. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated againstEscherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and C. tropicalis using the microdilution methodto determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). The methanol extract of the flowers and aerial partsexhibited notable antibacterial activity, particularly against S. aureus and E. coli (MIC = 625 μg/mL). Leafextracts also showed antifungal activity against C. albicans. The fatty oil demonstrated the strongest activityagainst S. aureus. The results showed that C. orientalis subsp. orientalis var. orientalis is a promising sourcefor natural antimicrobial agents, with the leaves and aerial parts standing out in terms of bioactivity.
