Abstract

Antimicrobial Effect of Pyocyanin Extracted from Pseudomonas aeroginosa

Abdul-Hussein ZR and Atia SS

Pyocyanin was extracted from environmental Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from soil at Basra city, Bacteria was identified by using Vitek-2 system analysis. Pigment was purified after extraction and identified by using thin layer chromatography, spectrophotometric, and GC mass analysis. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of different concentrations of pigment were studied against urinary tract and wound infection bacteria and pathogenic fungi. Results showed that pigment gave a good effect against all bacteria and fungi.
