Abstract

Anti staphylococcal activity by clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was tested by the reversed agar plate and the filter paper stamp methods. Almost 40% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa inhibited the growth of both Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Green pigment (Pyocyanin) produced strains showed a strong inhibitory effect against MRSA and MSSA respectively. But some other pigment (Yellow, Red) strains also showed anti staphylococcal activity. These data suggest the colonization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with anti staphylococcal activity may not be eradicated by the anti pseudomonic antibiotics.
