So 32 UTI samples were collected and
characterized on the basis of biochemical tests i.e. Bergeyâ€™s manual of determinative bacteriology [14]. Only, 7 UTI positive
Klebsiella pneumoniae were selected for present study. Murraya koenigii is medicinal plant and evaluated the antibacterial
activity of aqueous extract of M. koenigii. Preparation of extraction of leaves of the M. koenigii and preparation of various
treatments of M. koenigii and Norfloxacin were prepared by standard methods. Stock concentration of extract of the Murraya
koenigii and Norfloxacin was 50Âµg/ml. 5 treatments were prepared and observed that maximum inhibition zone was observed
in treatment (50% medicinal plant + 50 % antibiotics) i.e. 43 mm. Least inhibition zone has been seen in treatment 1 (100%
medicinal plant) i.e. 21 mm. Our results suggested that 7 isolated strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae and antimicrobial study
revealed that 50% aqueous extract of Murraya koenigii and 50% Norfloxacin showed highest antibacterial activity against
Klebsiella pneumoniae.</Abstract><Email>vishal_deshwal@rediffmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>4</volume><issue>3</issue><year>2014</year><keyword>Murraya koenigii,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Norfloxacin,Synergism,Antimicrobial activity</keyword><AUTHORS>Vishal Kumar Deshwal,Manisha,Nidhi Chatterjee,Md.
