Abstract :
The antibacterial activity of puffer fish Chelonodonpatocaagainst ten bacterial strains has been evaluated.Liver and muscle tissue extracts of Chelonodonpatocaprepared by using acetic acid. The antibacterial test was done by Agar diffusion technique. The liver extract showed maximum activity with zone of inhibition 12 mm radius at 10 mg /10µl in Pseudomonas sp .In thecase of muscle extract, the zone of inhibition extended up to 11 mm radius in Shigellaflexneriat 10mg/10 µl. The results indicated that the liver and muscle extracts of Chelonodonpatocamay have potent antibacterial compounds that can be further explored and utilized for the welfare of mankind.
