Abstract
The study was conducted in Chandigarh during spring season to find the potentiality of flora with high anti- bacterial efficacy. Mainly four bacterial strains [Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 2453), Klebsiella pneumoniae (MTCC 109), Streptococcus pneumoniae (MTCC 655) and Salmonella typhimurium (MTCC 3231)] were selected for the study. First pollen aqueous extract (PAE) of different concentrations (20%, 40%, 60% and 80%) were prepared, then disc diffusion method was used to check the anti- bacterial efficacy. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was highly inhibited by bee pollen of sub- divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4.Sub- division 3 and 4 also has higher action against Salmonella typhimurium. Sub- division 5 has higher efficacy against Klebsiella pneumoniae. The study throws light on their therapeutic use of bee pollen.
