Determiation the antibacterial activity of Punicagranatum Extract towards Streptococcus Pneumonia and Klebsella Pneumonia

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the inhibitory effect of the alcoholic and aquatic extracts of Punicagranatum (pomegranate peel) agaiestmultiresistantto antibiotic bacteria Streptococcus pneumonia and Klebsella pneumonia bacteria with some antibiotics. These isolated from the sputum and urine samples from patients whom lies in Tikrit Teaching Hospital in Tikrit city. The results showed various effects of the water and alcoholic extracts used in the study. The results showed that the highest inhibitory effect of the alcoholic extract against the bacteria Streptococcus Pneumonia at concentration (150)Inhibition zone was (24) mm and this is higher than the water extract at concentration (150) which was (16) mm. The results indicated that the highest Inhibitory effect of the alcoholic extract against the Klebsella Pneumonia at concentration (150) was (23) mm whereas the results of the inhibitory effect of the water extract against Klebsella Pneumonia are similar with the inhibitory effect of the extract of Streptococcus Pneumonia at (150) which was(16) mm.The results showed that the highest inhibitory diameter zone of Imipenem antibiotic on Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria is (38) m and is higher than the inhibitory effect of Imipenem antibiotic on Klebsellapneumonia bacteria which is (37) m in diameter.
