Abstract
The main objective of this study was to study the antibacterial activity of some medicinal plant extracts against resistant planktonic and biofilm forming K.pneumoniae isolated from patients admitted to Mansoura University Hospitals. In addition, this study was extended to investigate the effect of some natural plants extracts as abioagent against biofilm and non-biofilm producer K. pneumoniae. Forty clinical K.pneumoniae isolates were collected from patients admitted in different intensive care units (ICU) of Mansoura University Hospitals. Antibiotic susceptibilities of K.pneumoniae pattern was tested by the disk diffusion method .Ethanolic plant extracts were tested against biofilm and non-biofilm producer K. pneumoniae isolates by using agar well diffusion method. High rate of antibiotic-resistance among clinical K. pneumoniae isolates was detected and this necessitates monitoring the microbial trends and resistance patterns. Plants may be used as natural antibiotics in the treatments of antibiotic resistant K. pneumoniae infections .
