Abstract: Cuminum cyminum Linn is an herbaceous and medicinal crop and one of the oldest and popular seed spice worldwide after black pepper. This study was conducted to determine the anti-bacterial effect of Cuminum cyminum in vitro test and aims to Identify what organisms are highly susceptible to cumin, also to determine the concentration of cumin against Gram-positive bacteria that possess anti-bacterial property (25%, 50%, 75%, 100% were used as treatments), and compare to antibiotic effect of Amoxicillin and Streptomycin (Served as Control) for Gram positive bacteria as control. The Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacteria in Gram-positive bacteria was observed as the high susceptible in antibacterial activity of cumin. 100% concentration of cumin treatment have a significant effect on Gram-positive bacteria compared to 75%, 50% and 25% concentration but, no significant difference on the antibacterial effect of Amoxicillin (Control) to invade bacteria.
