The production of in vitro substances with antimicrobial potential represents a challenge and an opportunity at the microbiological level.  The effect of the extracts of some plants against bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphiloccocus aureus was determined.  The study has a mixed approach, explanatory descriptive scope and experimental design.  The results of the study indicate that the chili pepper and cinnamon species had effects on E. coli and S. aureus.  In addition, the greatest amount of information about the medicinal effects of these plants come from family members and to a lesser extent from other people.  It is concluded that it is especially important to test plants with antimicrobial effects for knowledge in the field of microbiology and it is necessary to develop subsequent preclinical studies to treat other less invasive antibiotic alternatives with humans.
