Five bacterial species were used are <em>Bacillus subtilis</em>, <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>, <em>Shigella sonnei</em>, <em>Salmonella typhimurium </em>and <em>Yersinia enterocolitica. </em>The ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of plant species showed good antibacterial activity against all bacterial strains. More significantly, ethylacetate and methanol extracts of all <em>Phlomis </em>species were found to be more effective on degredation of mature biofilm against all used bacterial strains than extracts of <em>Stachys </em>species. The findings of the present study highlight the promising role of <em>Phlomis </em>and <em>Stachys </em>extracts as new lead structures in the search for novel antibacterial and antibiofilm agents.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Botany}, author={Aybey, Aynur}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={257–263} }
