Abstract: Many pathogenic bacteria become resistant towards drug due to its extensive usage.The aim of the study was to evaluate methanolic extract of balsam that has the ability to kill bacteria as well as environment friendly.Pathogenic bacteria was isolated from restaurant and was identified as Klebsiella pneumonia using 16s rRNA sequencing.Well diffusion method was used for the determination of antibacterial activity of Methanolic balsam extract.Results show that balsam has significant antibacterial activity with 18 mm zone of inhibition at concentration of 100 µg/ml.The extract may contains some active compound that has the ability to penetrate the cell membrane and kill Klebsiella pneumonia.This plant extract can be used as a biocontrol agent to clean the environment from Klebsiella pneumonia.
