The current study was conducted during (2024-2025) to determine antibacterial activity and antioxidant activity of different organic solvents extract of Salvia offcinalis L. (Sage) and Thymus vulgaris L.(Thyme ). Five solvents were used (petroleum ether, Hexane, Acetone, Ethyl acetate and Ethanol ) to extract dried leaves of Sage and Thyme individually using soxhlet apparatus at different concentrations . Results showed that S.aureus was more sensitive to plant extract than E.coli .Highest inhibition growth zone produced in both (ethyl acetate and petroleum ether . In general there is increase in growth inhibition zone with increase plant extract concentration compared to control. For antibiotic sensitivity test , ,both examined bacterial strains are resistant to most antibiotics .
Antioxidant activity was studied using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method . Results showed that Sage proceed Thyme in its scavenging for free radicals .Ethanol extract gave highest value for antioxidant activity . There is increase in extract scavenging activity with increasing plant extract concentration.
