Ten isolates characterized as Staphylococcus aureus, were isolated from 10 different raw chicken meat samples from different retail stores in Mumbai. The staphyloxanthin (STX) production of S. aureus isolate was studied. The milk agar medium revealed the highest production of pigment at pH 8 for 72 hr at 37 degrees C. The Staphyloxanthin pigment was extracted using methanol and its Rf value was determined using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Antibacterial activity of STX was detected against the bacteria used in this study namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi., Shigella spp, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp, S.pyogenes, S.luteus out of it showed its antibacterial activity against Klebsiella spp., Escherichia coli, , S.luteus, Shigella spp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa only. Consequently, the aim of the present study was to detect the role of staphyloxanthin pigment production from S. aureus isolates from different raw chicken meat samples as anti-bacterial agent against some pathogenic bacteria used in this study.
