Abstract :Trigonella foenum-graecum seed was extracted with water-alcohol by maceration method. Its antimicrobial activity was tested by well diffusion technique againist Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Pasteurella multocida, Yersinia enterocolitica, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Candida albicans, Rhodotorula glutinis yeast and standard antibiotics. Extract of  Trigonella foenum-graecum seed was detected to be effective against Gram insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(+); and Gram insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(-); bacteria and yeasts. Best antibacterial activity has been found against P. multicoda insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(22 mm); and best activity for yeasts has been found against R. glutinis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20 mm); In general, the antimicrobial activity of Trigonella foenum-graecum seed extract is lower than penicillin and erythromycin antibiotics.
