N2  - Bacterial strains resistance represents a serious problem in the field of health protection, therefore many researches directed to discover some alternative natural products as antibacterial, nowadays special attention towards venoms as elapids, viprides, bee venom,et. which contain molecules with antibacterial and bacteriostatic properties.The present study aimed to evaluate in vivo and in vitro antibacterial effect of three different venoms the Egyptian Cobra (Naja haje), the horned viper (Cerastes cerastes) and honey bee (Apis mellifera) on both Staphylococcus aureus as Gram positive bacteria and Salmonella typhi as Gram negative bacteria by MIC test and disc diffusion method as in vitro evaluation, safety study was performed before and after the evaluation of antibacterial effect of the three different venoms, by i.p. injection of 1/10 LD50 using Swiss albino mice groups.Complete blood picture showed a significant decrease in both hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and red blood cells (RBCs) in all venoms groups except N. haje Hb increased, platelets and WBCs count showed significant increase in both N. haje and C. cerastes while A. mellifera decreased WBCs. N. haje and C. cerastes venoms showed the significant increase in liver alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and kidney functions (urea and creatinine) in addition to cardiac enzyme creatinine phosphokinase (CPK), while A. mellifera treated group showed no significant change compared to control group.Histological examination showed minor alterations in liver, kidney and cardiac tissues of mice with both N. haje and C. cerastes treatment while A. mellifera has no effect on tissue
