Five candida species which belong to C. albicans; C. tropicalis; C. guillermonbdii; C. glabrata; C. kefyr and six bacterial isolates which is Staphylococcus aureus ; S. epidermidis; Streptococcus pyogenes; S. pneumoniae; Escherichia coli; Klebsiella spp. were diagnosed. The oil extracted of thyme was obtained by hydrodistillation method using Glvengar apparatus; agar well diffusion method was used to study the effect oil extracted against yeasts and bacterial isolate. The highest percentage of inhibition was 63.4%, 61.7%, 60.5%, 59.7%and 59.7%within 30%concentration for yeasts C. Albican; C. Tropicalis; C. Glabrata; C. kefyr and C. guillermondii respectively. Also the highest percent of inhibition was 39%, 36.1% and 27.5% with 20% concentration for Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and E. coli respectively.
