چکیده

Antibiotic resistant bacteria was isolated from Uttarpara State General Hospital near Kolkata. The microscopical, biochemical tests suggested it to be Neisseria sp. Our major aim was to check the effect of several aqueous plant extracts on MDR and finding out tentative MIC value, study of any physiological changes brought about by the natural extract by phase contrast microscopy and ultimately to study any DNAase activity executed by the most successful plant extract on the multidrug resistant bacteria.
