Boiss. obtained by maceration and to test their antioxidant and antimicrobial capacity. The phenolic content was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent method, and the test of the free radical DPPH was used to evaluate the antioxidant activity, while the evaluation of the antimicrobial power of the extracts was determined by the agar diffusion method. The crude extracts of Retama monosperma showed a high total phenol content of 74.75 mg EAG / g extract for the seeds and 155.61 mg EAG / g extract for the leaves. The results of antimicrobial activity shows that the curd extract has a variable activity which differs according to the strain tested. It has been shown to be inactive against meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, while Candida albicans yeast is highly susceptible.
