Description 338-343
Present study consist a novel therapeutics
from natural sources to prevent the emergence and proliferation of resistant
microbial populations that can make a significant impact in treating clinically
challenging microbial infections. Squid ink has proved to play various primary
roles in the world of alternative medicine and has widest range of therapeutic
applications. Present study is designed to report the antibacterial effect of
the squid ink against the ESBL producing strains of E.coli and K.pneumoniae. ESBL
strains are isolated from patients with typical urinary tract infections. They
have been identified microbiologically and characterized by double disc synergy
test and plasmid profiles. Active metabolite of squid ink was extracted using
solvents and was checked for its antibacterial activity by agar well diffusion
method. MIC value is determined by microbroth dilution method. Results conclude
that the hexane extract of the squid ink scored high antibacterial activity
against the ESBL producing strains of E.coli
and K.pneumoniae. Present study suggests
that squid ink is an enigmatic pigment of therapeutic value in near future for
treatment of dreadful infections caused by the ESBL strains.
