        abstract = {Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram- negative bacilli, rod shaped, motile. It causes infection in the adults as well as neonates, it is one of the most challenging bacteria as a nosocomial causing Pathogen. The immunocompromised patients are at a high risk. In the field of medical science, it is always challenging to eradicate the P. aeruginosa from the infected substratum. There are number of reasons which suggested that the disinfectants should be change periodically to avoid any kind of resistance toward. It was observed that the very commonly used disinfectants do not show high resistance towards them but uncommonly used disinfectants were effect toward the same group P. aeruginosa. There were five different disinfectants were selected against the P. aeruginosa to know the antimicrobial activity against the disinfectants. These disinfectants include Savlon (10% w/v), Lysol (10% w/v), Dettol (10% w/v), Ethanol (70% w/v) and Hydrogen Peroxide (3% w/v). The result show that the most commonly used disinfectants like Ethanol, Hydrogen peroxide and Dettol were not so much effective against all the P. aeruginosa strains isolated from different location. The maximum. Inhibition Zone was recorded in Savlon and Lysol at the same concentration, it also depends on the composition of these disinfectants. Out of 23 isolates only 5 strains show good result for the Dettol, ethanol and hydrogen peroxide.},
