  Background Antimicrobial resistance is a challenging threat to global health. The resistance developed due to misuse or overuse of antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance reduces the progress of antibiotics which significantly threaten human health. The study aims to explore antimicrobial activity of Pseudomonas MK-13 as well as optimization of different parameters essential for growth and antimicrobial activity. Material and Methods Antibacterial and antifungal activity of Pseudomonas MK-13 was checked against MDR bacterial strains (Acinetobacter, MRSA, E.coli and Pseudomonas) and fungi (Alternaria and Fusarium) by agar well diffusion method and dual culture technique respectively. Growth and antibiotic production activity were checked at different parameters i-e temperature, pH, incubation time and aeration. .. View More»
