Abstract
In present research the antagonistic activity of human bacterial pathogens viz., Streptococcus  pyogenes,  Staphylococcus  epidermidis,  Klebsiella  pneumonia,  Staphylococcus  aureus,  Serratia  marcescens,  Escherichia  coli  and Pseudomonas  aeruginosa  were analysed. Significant amount of lactic acid production was shown by S.  pyogenes,  S.  epidermidis  and P.  aeruginosa  (63 mg/mL, 54 mg/mL, and 54 mg/mL), while S.  pyogenes  and S.  epidermidis  also produced significant quantity of hydrogen peroxide (1.70 mg/mL and 1.605 mg/mL). An impressive diversity of spots of chemical constituents was also obtained through thin layer chromatography (TLC) from broth culture of bacterial strains. The antagonistic activity may be indicated the potency of lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide production to inhibit the microbes.
