Although &lt;em&gt;Cakile maritima&lt;/em&gt; has a high antioxidant capacity, it is yet to be tested for the ability to inhibit the growth of the bacterial triggers of autoimmune inflammatory diseases. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; solvent extracts were analysed for antioxidant capacity by the DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Growth inhibitory activities against bacterial species associated with initiating rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and multiple sclerosis were determined by disc diffusion assay and quantified by MIC determination. Toxicity was determined by &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana&lt;/em&gt; bioassay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; All &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; solvent extracts displayed good DPPH radical scavenging activity, although the ethyl acetate extract was particularly potent with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 3.4 &amp;mu;g/mL. The other extracts also had significant radical scavenging activity, with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; between 4.7 and 13.6 &amp;mu;g/mL. The bacterial growth inhibitory activity of the extracts correlated with their free radical scavenging activity. The ethyl acetate extract displayed the most potent growth inhibitory activity against most bacterial species. This extract was particularly potent against&lt;em&gt; Proteus mirabilis&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Proteus vulgaris&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; (MIC values of 431, 559 and 777 &amp;mu;g/mL, respectively). The hexane extract was also a potent inhibitor of the &lt;em&gt;Proteus&lt;/em&gt; spp., (MIC of approximately 500-800 &amp;mu;g/mL). The ethyl acetate extract also inhibited &lt;em&gt;Klebsiella pneumoniae&lt;/em&gt; growth, albeit with higher MIC&amp;rsquo;s (approximately 1500 &amp;mu;g/mL). All other &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; extract-bacteria combinations generally resulted in mid-low potency inhibition. All of the extracts were determined to be nontoxicin with the &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana &lt;/em&gt;bioassay, with LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values substantially &amp;gt;1000 &amp;mu;g/mL. A total of 97 unique mass signals were detected in the &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; ethyl acetate extract by nonbiased GC-MS headspace analysis. A number of terpenoids which may contribute to the therapeutic bioactivities of the extract were putatively identified.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The lack of toxicity and the inhibitory activity against microbial triggers of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and multiple sclerosis by the &lt;em&gt;C. maritima &lt;/em&gt;ethyl acetate extract indicates its potential in the treatment and prevention of these diseases.&lt;/p&gt;
