Abstract:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is considered as the epitome of an opportunistic pathogens of hospitalized patients. A total of 159 clinical specimens were recovered and molecular identified by PCR assay. The number of isolates which identified as P. aeruginosa was 101 clinical isolates. Considering the effect of 14 natural products/extracts on some virulence factors of MDR isolates,  sub inhibitory concentration (½ MIC) of Syzygium aromaticum (clove) buds extract inhibit the activity of alkaline protease enzyme on skimmed milk agar. The swarming motility was decreased while phospholipase C enzyme activity was increased by sub inhibitory conc. of clove buds extract. Biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa was inhibited by Psidium guajava (guava) leaves extract at ½ MIC (showed pink colonies on congo red agar).The effect of different conc. of Psidium guajava leaves extract on outer membrane proteins of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate was determined by SDS-PAGE  and analyzed using Image J program. Sub inhibitory conc. (¾ MIC) of guava leaves extract showed lower relative density in protein bands at molecular weights of 70 KDa, 65 KDa , 60 KDa , 59 KDa , 49 KDa ,44 KDa& 36 KDa compared to the control.


Keywords: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, natural products/extracts, virulence factors, outer membrane proteins.
