    abstract = {In this study, <I>E. angustifolia</I> L. was collected from different localities of Mugla in Turkey. Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of <I>E. angustifolia</I> L. have not been reported to the present day. The aim of the present study was to investigate the <I>in vitro</I> antibacterial and antioxidant activity of methanol extracts of <I>E. angustifolia</I> leaves. Methanol extracts were screened for antibacterial activity against mastitis pathogens. These bacteria include 2 <I>Staphylococcus aureus</I> and 5 Coagulase Negative Staphylococci. Antibacterial activities of the extracts were determined by the Disc Diffusion Method. Also ampicillin disc was used for comparison of inhibition zones. Methanolic leaf extract showed a maximum zone of inhibition in <I>Staphylococcus aureus-</I>17 by Disc Diffusion Method. <I>E. angustifolia</I> leaf extract showed lowest antibacterial activity against <I>S. aureus-</I>18 and Coagulase Negative Staphylococci-36 (CNS). The antioxidant activity of the leaf extract was also determined by ABTS Method using trolox as standard. The value found in ABTS Method is highly effective (84%). As a result, the <I> in vitro </I> studies clearly indicate that the methanolic leaf extract of <I>E. angustifolia</I> significant antioxidant activity and also a better source of natural antioxidant which might be helpful in preventing the process of different oxidative stress. In addition to, the <I>E. angustifolia</I> could be used in treating disease caused by the test bacteria. <I>E. angustifolia</I> methanolic leaf extracts have antioxidant and antibacterial potential.}
