COMPARATIVE STUDY ON EDIBLE AND NON EDIBLE MUSHROOM AGAINST MDR K.PNEUMONIA

Abstract

Mushroom plays an important role in all the world to prevent lacking of nutritive values because it contain all the nutrients such as protein , vitamins, selenium, riboflavin, niacin, fiber and popular in food recopies because it contain low carbohydrates ,carbohydrates, cholesterol and sodium. Mushrooms have been used extensively in traditional medicine as antimicrobial, antiviral and antitumor agents. Infectious diseases remain a major threat to human health, due to global antimicrobial resistance. This has led to an increase in the search for new and potent antimicrobial substances. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of the organic solvents (methanol,) extracts of two mushroom species against MDR K.pneumoniae using agar disc diffusion method. Wild edible and non-edible mushrooms can be used as agents in the development of new drugs for bacterial infections. This study indicated that the antibacterial effects of mushrooms vary depending on the type of mushroom, the solvent medium used and the type of organism tested. Agaricus bisporus and Amanita parcivolvata both are active against multi drug resistant bur based on MIC Amanita parcivolvata was found to be potent and provide novel antibacterial compoundBLE MUSHROOM AGAINST MDR K.PNEUMONIA
