Extraction was performed to plants powders by cold process using a vibrating incubator at 40°C. The antimicrobial activity was studied by diffusion by digging - agar at concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 3) % and (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.75, 1) % for cumin and dill respectively. The results of the tests showed that cumin had the highest effective ability when using a concentration of 3%, while the highest effectiveness of dill was at a concentration of 1% of the concentrations used, while it was the least inhibitory ability when using concentrations of (0.1) % from both the two plants against bacteria and fungi used in the research. The inhibition effectiveness of a combination of 2% cumin and 1% dill was determined, which was measured and found to be (21,22,19,18,15) mm and (21,20,20,17,15) mm and (22, 19, 18, 16, 16) mm against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans were obtained, while it gave effectiveness ranged between (20, 20, 21, 21, 16) mm and (21, 20, 20, 17, 17 ) mm towards Staphylococcus epidermis and Candida albicans, with concentrations (100, 75, 50, 25, 12.5)%, respectively. The active substances available in the alcoholic extract of cumin and dill plants were investigated by chemical methods, as the tests showed that they contain compounds of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins and tannins, which are the substances to which the antimicrobial destructive effect was attributed against various types of bacteria and fungi.
