Abstract

Historically plants provided best source of drug compounds. In the present study Adhatoda vasica and Bauhinia racemosa showed good antibacterial activity against multi drug resistant Klebsiella species. Well diffusion method was used for checking antimicrobial potential of medicinal plants. Different type of Klebsiella species isolated from urine sample on MacConkeys agar medium which were labeled as K1 to K10. These isolates identified with the help of VITEK-2 compact and 16srRNA sequencing this sequence submitted on ENA, their accession no. released. Drug resistant capacity of klebsiella species was checked on VITEK -2 compact. Adhatoda vasica showed best antibacterial activity against Klebsiella species and maximum species showed resistant against Bauhinia racemosa.
