Abstract

The experimental research design was utilized in the study and purposive sampling was used to determine the sample. Among the three plants, Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare prossessed antibacterial properties as they garnered no growth after being incubated for 48 hours. Moringa oleifera did not possess a strong antibacterial property due to the substantial growth of bacteria on its place. since the results of the study are limited due to the methods used, it cannot be identified which among Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare is more efficient as a germicidal agent which is why it is recommended to use other methods in determining their antibacterial activities.
