IN-VITRO ANTI-BACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF SINDOORADI MALAHAMA Authors: Pandey A , DAVE O*, DAHILEKAR SG AND JAISWAL S
ABSTRACT
Infection of wounds are caused by various pathogenic organisms which get lodged in healthy or
diseased persons wound. In diabetes and immune compromised due to devitalizing changes and
injuries, gradually increasing microbial load in the etiopathogenesis again convert these wounds more
complicated1
. Therefore, medical science needed to explore such a safe strong and highly effective
medicine from natural source for in vitro as well as in vivo research and procure a better formulation
which can be a very effective against these types of various infected wounds. There are so many
formulation on the basis of experience.out of those preparations Sindooradi malahama has been
selected for infected, secretory and chronic wounds as mentioned in Bhaisajya samhita5
. In vitro
study to know the antibacterial activity against the different infected wound swabs and drain swabs,
which has been carried out in microbiology laboratory of Parul Institute of Applied Sciences. Agar
well diffusion method was followed to assess the antibacterial activity on different infected samples
and the zone of inhibition were analyzed on the standard protocol of experimental study4
. It is
observed that those samples who were containing different types of bacteria have shown the clear
inhibition zone which proved a good antibacterial activity against collected samples. All the samples
were found grade 3 to grade 4 sensitivity against Sindooradi malahama with different concentration6
