Aims: Aqueous and oil extracts for cloves, lemon peels, garlic and rosemary are examined for antimicrobial activity against many pathogenic bacteria isolated from chalazion. Methodology and results: Different plant extracts were used starting from 0.020-0.66 g/mL with minimum inhibitory concentration. Notably, all plant extracts have been purified via the Soxhlet unit technique. Also, the active ingredients were identified by highinerformance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which determined three different effective compounds: eugenol, gallic acid and dimethoxyphenol at clove oil extract, while at water extract was apigenin only. The results indicated that the extracts exhibited an inhibition zone has 15 mm at a concentration of 0.165 mg/mL for all pathogenic bacteria isolates. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: The extract is considered an effective treatment for various bacterial infections of chalazion because many causative agents have been identified as resistant to antibiotics.

Chalazion is a common infection of the meibomian gland in all ages' eyelids. The current study sought to isolate and identify bacteria linked with chalazion in patients hospitalized to Mosul hospitals between 10/1/2021 and 1/3/2022. Samples were obtained using swabs soaked in the transport media (amies), and bacteria were identified using traditional methods with API20E. Vitek-2 and molecular approaches based on the 16 S rRNA gene verified the species-level diagnosis. Using BLAST software, the nitrogen base sequences were determined and compared to those of the NCBI. The results showed that Staphylococcus aureus was isolated by 52.2% and 62.5% among women, notably in the age (21-40) years, and by 27.8% for females and 19.2% for the same age group in males, and upper eyelid infection predominated. The infection rate in people with oily skin was 50.9% in females and 34.6% in men, with the presence of the agr A, agrC, and agrD genes in isolates that exhibited a positive result in the Congo red medium and microtiter plate.
