Key Points

The aim is to isolate human pathogenic organisms from skin infections and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of herbal drugs.
Isolated eight microbes from skin-infected persons, including bacteria and fungi.
Tested antimicrobial efficacy of Cassia alata extracts against isolated strains.
Measured susceptibility in millimeters for bacterial and fungal strains.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed the highest susceptibility to Cassia alata extracts at 21 mm.
Among fungi, Aspergillus niger was inhibited at maximum 5 mm compared to other strains.
Bacteria were more numerous than fungi among the isolates.

Abstract

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
