Phytochemical screening and antibacterial activity of Skimmia anquetilia N.P. Taylor and Airy Shaw: A first study from Kashmir Himalaya.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to explore the antibacterial activity of various organic root extracts of Skimmia anquetilia N.P. Taylor and Airy Shaw and the identification of major functional groups and phytoconstituents through fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The extracts were evaluated for antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains viz., Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC424), Escherichia coli (MTCC739), Klebsiella pneumoniae (MTCC139), Salmonella typhi (MTCC3224), and Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC96). ESKAPE pathogens such as S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa are responsible for a majority of all healthcare acquired infections. The ethy
