Abstract
Paranychia is fairly common and usually caused by injury to area around the nail folding of human thumb finger. It is caused by multiple micro organisms of both bacterial and fungal infection mostly both micro organisms were observed in severe cases. For microbial study 42 swab samples were collected from Agricultural farmers and inoculated in suitable agar media. The most commonly responsible bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species, Pseudomonas species etc. and Candida albicans fungus were observed in chronic infectious patients. A series of 10 medicinal plants such as Allium setivum , Anacardium orientalie, Azadirachta indica, Citrus limon, Curcuma longa, Eukaliptus ligulata , Lawsonia alba, Ocimum sanctum, Terminalia chebula, and Tridax prokambence, extracts and decoction were tested for antibacterial and antifungal agents. Most of the plant methanol extraction is highly inhibitory activity for Staphylococcus 2.5 ± 0.34 cm and pseudomonas species 2.4 ± 0.47 cm. Some of the plant extractions were moderate inhibitory activity of fungal species. The plant extractions were compared with market available synthetic drugs in the laboratory.
