Abstract

In the present research work, soil samples were collected from different hospitals of District Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, contaminated with hospital disposable materials. Aspergillus ochraceus was isolated from the soil through serial dilution followed by morphological identification. Furthermore, different strains of human pathogenic bacteria were isolated from hospitalized patient’s blood, urine and pus samples. The isolated A. ochraceus was tested against the isolated pathogenic bacterial strains for antimicrobial activities. Antibacterial results were observed against multi drugs resistant (MDR) human pathogenic bacteria.

Key words: Aspergillus ochraceus, pustule, antimicrobial, multi drugs resistant.
