This study aimed to determine the antibacterial effect of the extract of Nymphaea alba petals, and if antibacterial activities are present then the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the extract is determined. Currently multidrug resistant bacteria are a major concern for clinicians as most conventional antibiotics do not work against MDR strains and infections with MDR strains are increasing day by day, with many resulting in death. This study focused mainly on the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract. Our study showed that the crude extract is significantly effective against MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae with MIC value <0.78 mg/ml. This confirms the effectiveness of this extract against MDR bacteria.
