Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity of Thuja orientalis extract against fourteen isolates of Klebsiella from urinary tract infection patients. Antibiotic susceptibility test was done against eight antibiotics to determine the bacterial resistance. The highest bacterial resistance was against Cefixime and Trimethoprim (100%), while the lowest resistance was against Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin and Imepenem (28.57%). Finally the effect of Thuja oriantalis plant extract was tested and results showed that, this plant extract has marked inhibitory effect against all Klebsiella isolates.
