Abstract: A new lipophobic fraction has been prepared by the extraction of camomile flowers with boiling ethyl or methyl alcohol, which can contain up to 30% water, letting the alcoholic solution evaporate to obtain a residue and washing the obtained residue with the appropriate organic solvents.This fraction is particularly free of any of the camomile extract components that are volatile in steam current and the fraction has a strong bacteriostatic and bactericidal action.Therapeutic compositions having antibacterial action were prepared, using the lipophobic fraction of the camomile extract prepared as described above.
