This species is considered to be one of the most famous medicinal plants commonly consumed as herbal teas and teas. Moreover, some statistics show that every day more than a million glasses of camomile tea are drunk. 8 The properties of M. recutita are numerous; therapeutic, cosmetic, agri-food, etc. 9 From one hand, this plant is used for the treatment of various diseases, including those related to inflammatory conditions, 2 bacterial and gastrointestinal infections, 10 muscle spasms, 11 etc. On the other hand, the oils extracted from chamomile can be used in cosmetics and perfumery. 2 This oil is known for its best quality and is generally known as "blue oil" due to the presence of certain chemical compounds, such as terpenoids, in particular chamazulene and bisabolol. 12 Chamomile is an economic asset. However, recent evidence has shown that the emergence of resistant microorganisms is increasingly restricting the effectiveness and potency of commercially available drugs. 13 This can lead to failure in the treatment and management of infections. 14 In addition to this, it has been estimated that the steadily increasing resistance to antibiotics will lead to around 10 million deaths every year by 2050. 15 To this effect, medicinal plants have proven to be more effective and cheaper than conventional drugs in the treatment of various diseases. Furthermore, they have shown less and even none of the side effects. 16 In spite of all these studies and scientific literature, chamomile planted in Taounate area of Morocco has so far not been the subject of such a detailed study in terms of phytochemicals and antibacterial activities. We have therefore oriented our study in this direction with the aims of (i) extracting the essential oils from the aerial parts of M. recutita by two methods and then comparing these two methods, (ii) separating and identifying the chemical compounds by the GC-MS method, and (iii) evaluating in vitro the antibacterial activity of the essential oils of M. recutita against four pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli ATB: 57) B6N, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtills and Pseudomonas aeruginosa).
