Invitro evaluation of some Iranian plants against antibiotic resistance Klebsiella pneumonia

This study confirms the invitro evaluation of some Iranian plants against antibiotic resistance k. pneumonia. All 12 Klebsiella pneumonia were isolated from urine culture of hospitalized patients during the years 2012- 2013. In this study, the essential oil of Cuminum cyminum, Zataria multiflora Bioss., Coriandrum sativum and Anethum graveolens dhi obtained by hydrodistillation and the minimum inhibitory concentrations were investigated to characterize the antimicrobial activities of this essential oil. The results show that the highest MIC values of essential oil from Z. multiflora were found to be 50ppm against K. pneumoniae and the least MIC values of essential oil from Z. multiflora were10ppm. The highest MIC values of essential oil from A.graveolens, A.graveolens and C.cyminum were found to be 250ppm against K.pneumoniae
