morphologically and biochemically. Two different pigment pyocycin (greenish colour) and pyoverdin (UV-fluorescing
pigment) were analysed for photostability and its antibacterial activity. Two strains were sensitive to pyocin produced by urine
isolate. Three strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from Urine, Pus sample. It is confirmed morphologically and
biochemically. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was confirmed by its growth in Cetrimide agar (Inhibitor of all other Gram Positive
and Gram Negative bacteria) and its pigment production. Different molecular sized plasmid were isolated and transformed in
DH 5ï¡ cells. ï¢-Lactamase providing genes might be present in plasmids, and it was confirmed with plasmid isolation from
transformed cells. The BLA gene coding beta lactamase having the size of 1 kb was amplified.</Abstract><Email>jchitra21@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>4</volume><issue>2</issue><year>2013</year><keyword>Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Pus and Urine sample,Lactamase gene,Pyocin,Transformation</keyword><AUTHORS>A.
