Antibacterial screening was conducted by Agar well-diffusion method to find out the antibacterial property of the soft body tissues of the land snail Cryptozona bistrialis against the human pathogenic bacteria species namely Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aerogense and Salmonella typhi. The tissue extract of C. bistrialis exhibited the highest significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus (30mm), Escherichia coli (25 mm) and Klebsiella pneumonia (25 mm) and showed the minimum inhibitory against the Pseudomonas aerogense (10 mm) and Salmonella typhi (10 mm). Hence the study reveals the presence of antibacterial factors in the whole body of the land snail C. bistrialis. : {"references": ["Anand, T.P. and Edward, J.K.P., 2001.
