Abstract
Introduction & Objective: Recent studies had showed that Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have beneficial effects on bacterial infections. Treatment with MSCs has proven bacterial clearance. This study was undertaken to study the in vitro activity of antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of stems cells against gram negative multidrug resistant organism from urinary tract infections.Method: The samples will be processed according to standard protocol following standard guidelines. All the isolates obtained will be identified by standard guidelines. Total of 50 isolates were collected. The antibiotic susceptibility testing will be done for all the isolates by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method following CLSI guidelines. All the isolates are screened for production of biofilm by tissue culture plate method. The antimicrobial activity of mesenchymal stem cells was done by micro broth dilution method.
