Lymnaea auricularia. Antibacterial Activity. Human PathogensAbstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of Lymnaea auricularia (snail) tissue
powder and shell powder against different human pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia Coli, Pseudomonas
aeruginoa and Klebsiella pneumonia). Four concentration was tested (75,100.125,150) mg\ml of the powder
with well diffusion assay. The highest activity of shell powder was in E. Coli at 75mg\ml concentration(19mm)
inhibition zone, while the highest activity of tissue powder was in P. aeruginoa at 150mg\ml concentration
with inhibition zone (28 mm). The powder extracts ‘ antimicrobial activity reveals that they may have
biologically active metabolites.
