Phytochemical analysis detected the Tannins, Carbohydrate, Phenols, Flavonoids, Saponin, Coumarins and Alkaloids) and not showed (Glycosides Resin, Proteins, Terpenes, Steroid). Atomic spectrophotometer and metals determination equipment’s were used to measure and determine of elements and metals that exist in both alcoholic and aqueous extracts its contents Fe, Ca, Za, K. The research conducted by applying comparison between alcoholic and aqueous extracts at different concentrations and with several types of bacteria to study the effectiveness of each extract with different type of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans were used in this study. The results with Staphylococcus aureus showed 14 and 16 mm inhibition effectiveness for aqueous extracted at (0.5gm/1mL and 1gm/1mL) concentration respectively whereas 15 and 19 mm inhibition effectiveness for alcoholic extracted with some concentration also 17 mm negative efficacy was the results for antibiotic. Meanwhile the results with Staphylococcus epidermidis revealed a good efficacy for aqueous extracts within (0.5gm/1mL and 1gm/1mL) concentrations and there are no any activity using alcoholic extract the antibiotic showed (20 mm) efficacy with Staphylococcus epidermidis. Furthermore, the results displayed high inhibition effectiveness for the alcoholic extract with (0.5gm/1mL and 1gm/1mL) concentration on Streptococcus mutans compared to the aqueous extracts that had no any activity on the same type of bacteria. The reactive efficacy was (17mm) for antibiotic. Additionally, the result with Candida albicans presented high inhibition effectiveness for alcoholic extract compare to the aqueous extract and with (16mm) antibiotic efficacy. Alcoholic extract exhibited superiority over the aqueous extract in inhibition effectiveness on bacteria. In addition, both alcoholic and aqueous extract from Iraqi Malva parviflora leaves showed high activity and safety.
