Abstract EN
In the present study, effort has been made to find the antimicrobial activity of haemolymph collected from freshwater crab, Paratelphusa hydrodromous.
The haemolymph collected was tested for antimicrobial assay by disc diffusion method against clinical pathogens.
Five bacterial species, namely, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and five fungal strains, namely and Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus sp., and Mucor sp., were selected for the study.
The result shows a strong response of haemolymph against the clinical pathogens which confirms the immune mechanism of the freshwater crab.
