Conventionally spices have been widely used as flavoring agents, colorant, preservatives, food additives and medicinal
purposes worldwide. The present work aimed to find out the antimicrobial activity of natural spices on multi-drug
resistant Pseudomonas aeurigenosa isolated from poultry waste water. Anti-bacterial potentials of four spices extracts
cinnamon, clove, black pepper and long pepper) were tested against Pseudomonas aeurigenosa isolated from poultry
waste water.The highest inhibition zone was observed with long pepper (32mm). Assessment of anti-bacterial activity of
common spices against other MDR bacteria could be applied for prevention & mitigation of diseases.
