The bacterial pathogens i.e. Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli, and Candida famatawere isolated from infected area of human. The medicinal plant (Ardushi,Nilgiri,Ashopalav, and Ashwagandha) shows different antimicrobial activity against isolated bacteria. The best antimicrobial activity was observed in Ardusi. Alopathic medicines need to be reduced in the wound infection treatment and can be replaced with medicinal plants as a potential source of pharmaceutical agent. Honey was very promising topical antimicrobial agent against the infection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and in the treatment of chronic wound infections that do not respond to antibiotic therapy. Honey is an ancient wound remedy for which there is modern evidence of efficacy in the treatment of burn wounds, but limited evidence for the effectiveness of its antibacterial activity againstPseudomonas.
