Efficacy and Antibacterial Activity of Scrupulous Commercial Soaps Against Bacterial Strains
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The study aims to check the antibacterial activity of various branded soaps against bacteria present in wound infection.Wound infection is one of the major problem faced by modern population due to changing environment and pollution.Antibacterial soap has the ability to remove 65% to 85% of bacteria from human skin. To determine the antibacterial activity of antibacterial soap, three brands of commercial soap (CS-1,CS-2, CS-3)was evaluated against the bacteria isolated from wound samples. The antibacterial activitywas determined bywell diffusion method, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration(MBC). The highest efficacy was shown by CS-1 against Staphylococcus spp, (24mm), the second most efficacy CS-2 was shown by Pseudomonas spp (22mm).The least efficacy CS-3 was shown by Streptococcus spp (19mm). MIC shows that CS-1has good inhibitory concentration against all the test organisms, which is then further proved by MBC.
