Skin Disease, Cassia alata, antimicrobial activity, pseudomonas aeroginosa, Bacterial strainsAbstract
In the present study the human pathogenic organisms were isolated from skin infected person. The bacterial strains such as Streptococcuspyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeroginosa, and fungal strains such as Aspergillusniger, Candida albicans and Trichoderma sp were used as a test pathogen. For antimicrobial activity assay Cassia alata was selected. Totally eight microbes were isolated from skin infected person. Among the microorganism isolated, bacteria was maximum number than fungi. Among the bacterial strains tested, the maximum susceptibility was observed in pseudomonas aeroginosa, (21 mm) to Cassia alata extracts. Among the fungal strains tested, A.niger (5 mm) was inhibited maximum than other fungal strain
