Abstract
The antibacterial activity of the egg white extract of the blister beetle M. pustulata was evaluated against four gram-positive and five gram-negative bacteria. Maximum activity was observed against V. parahaemolyticus and B. subtilis with the zones of inhibition of 25.33 ± 0.47 mm which was higher than that of a commercial antibiotic disc. Minimum activity was observed against P. aeruginosa and P. vulgaris with both having the zone of inhibition of 15.33 ± 0.47 mm
