N. ARUN NAGENDRAN and M. THIRUVALLUVAN

Abstract

Pseudomonas sp. isolated from flacherie diseased mulberry silkworn Bombyx mori was characterised. An anti-biogram was prepared against three antibiotics, pencillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and herbal extract of Ocimunz sanctum leaves. The bacteria was found to be resistant to pencillin and sensitive to all other antimicrobial agents.
