The aims of our research were analysis of the secondary metabolite products and in vitro antibacterial and anti-fungal activities. Apium graveolens has been used as a food, and at various times both the whole plant and the seeds have been consumed as a medicine. The FTIR analysis of Apium graveolens leaves proved the presence of functional group assignment Alkyl halides, Amide, and Alkane with Intensity 75.578 (Strong), 87.413 (Strong), 86.158 (Strong), 84.616 (Bending), 88.087 (Strong), and Peak (Wave number cm1) 1020.34, 1238.30, 1317.38, 1608.63 and 2918.30. In the current study, the anti-microbial activity of Apium graveolens methanolic extract was highly against Klebsiella pneumoniae (4.27 ± 0.16). Apium graveolens was very highly active against A. terreus (5.01 ± 0.17).
