Bezalwar P. M | Shuddhalwar P. P
Abstract: Biofilm formation by Microbe causes a variety of infections which complicates the antimicrobial therapy. In the present study, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus strains have been isolated from the clinical samples and characterized. Zingiber officinale root and Coriandrum sativum seed-s hot and cold extract was prepared in ethanol and water. Visible eye scoring was given to judge anti-biofilm activity. P. aeruginosa in treatment with Zingiber officinale root extract displayed maximum anti-biofilm activity whereas in study with S. aureus, no encouraging results were obtained.
