English Abstract
Among 240 sputum samples , 20 isolates (8.3%) were identified as Legionella pneumophila in Hawler and Rizgary Teaching hospitals in Erbil city, by morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics.
The pattern of resistance revealed that the highest resistance was for penicillin G, polymyxin B, vancomycin, while it was fully sensitive to azithromycin and clarithromycin, and it showed variable sensitivity to other antibiotics.
The effect of the two medicinal plants (Glycyrrhiza glabra and Malva neglecta) on L.
pneumophila growth was studied, the results showed that the activity of both plants by using MIC were 200, 300 μg/ml for aqueous extract and 250 , 400 μg/ml for alcoholic extracts respectively, while MIC was 300 μg/ml when extracts of both plants were used combined.
