Abstract:

In the present study 100 samples were collected for the identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Among 100 samples, Clinical specimens such as Urine (15 Samples), Pus swabs (surgical and non-surgical wounds) (25 samples), Stool (20 Samples), Ear swabs (25 samples) and Blood (15 Samples). Among the 100 clinical samples 44 isolates showed Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The bacterial isolates from the clinical specimens for the present study were confirmed as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using conventional tests. The antibiotic resistant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates showed a maximum of 69.6 percent to Gentamycin which was followed by other antibiotics. The leaves of selected plant species were collected and subjected to ethanolic extraction. The ethanolic leaves extract were tested against clinically isolated multiple antibiotic resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Antibacterial reference standard, Ciprofloxacin had equal effect on multiple antibiotic resistances Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from clinical isolates and Standard Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Zone of inhibition of Ciprofloxacin was compared with standard strains. The antimicrobial activity of plant extract was higher in Chrysanthemum odoratum than the other leaves extract tested against test bacteria. There is a scope to use ethanolic extract of the leaves of Chrysanthemum odoratum against infections caused by multiple antibiotic resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
