Fenugreek plant (the scientific name isTrigonellafoenum-graecum)which is used in variousmedications. The Fenugreek seeds extract is used to determine the antibacterial actionagainst: a variety of Gram+ve and Gram-ve bacteria.4. The fresh pomegranate extractwas prepared by methanol and distilled water (D.W) according to standard method. The pomegranateand bacterial specimens were kept in fridge at 4°C. The antibacterial action of all extracts was examined using the disc diffusion technique. The currentresearchdisplayedthat water and methanol pomegranate extracts hadantibacterial activity on the bacteria. Additionally, The current study established that there was substantialaction on the growth of a someGram+ve and Gram-ve bacteria. a great advantage of pomegranate extract in foods preserving. The antimicrobial activity of pomegranate extract is effective against dental bacteria giving chance to pharmaceutical usage in the herbal remedy.The phytocompounds in pomegranate extract comprising phenol, tannin and flavonoid as main effective compounds in the inhibition of bacterial growth. Additional studies are necessary to separate the active antimicrobial compounds in pomegranate and studying the mechanism of action.The aim of this research is to examine the antibacterial action of aqueous and methanolic extracts of thepomegranate extract and the Fenugreek extract against many pathogenic bacteria comparing with antibiotics Cloramphenicol (C), Erythromycin (E), Trimethoprim (TM), Ampicillin (AM), ofloxacin (OFX), Gentamicin (CN), Cefepime (FEP) and Nalidixic acid (NA)
