Abstract

In the current study, three plants were identified, Zingiber officinale, Vitis vinifera and Phoenix dactylifera, to extract and isolate flavonoids from them by alcohol extraction from the leaves of these plants, then confirm the extraction of flavonoids alone from the alcoholic extract using Ethyl acetate by Fluid-Fluid Extraction method and expose the isolated Klebsiella pneumonia samples. From the respiratory tracts of 25 patients infected with Coronavirus 2019 in Salah al-Din General Hospital in the city of Tikrit - Iraq to find out the extent of the possible genetic influence on the level of DNA, specifically the rmpA, iucA genes, which have a co-influence in increasing the severity of the infection on the patient.
