Antibacterial Activity of Polyvalent Anti-snake venom

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Snake bite is a major occupational hazard globally. Immediate administration of antivenom is the standard regime for treatment. Snake bite wound can get deposited with the pathogenic microflora present in the buccal cavity of the snake. Hence, the present research study was performed to investigate anti-snake venom (ASV) efficacy against various bacteria. The antibacterial activity was measured by standard well diffusion method with American Type Culture Collection strains of gram positive and negative bacteria. ASV showed antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus species.
