The result show Klebsiella pneumonia were resistance to 6 of the agent including nalidix acid(18.5%), ciprofloxacin(18.51%), gentamicin(33.3%), ceftazidim (40.74%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol(44.4%), nitrofurantoin (44.4%) and The plant extracts showed inhibitory activity against Klebsiella pneumonia with varying magnitudes and these effects were dose dependent mannerIn conclusion, it seems that Z. multiflora extracts could inhibit the growth of all of the mentioned bacteria. We noticed that the bactericidal effect of Z. multiflora extracts was less than its bacteriostatic effects.
