Phylogenetic tree analysis was performed to know the sequences that are closely related. The strain was assessed for pigment production in Zobell marine broth and incubated at 37 °C for two days. The swab sticks collected from hospital were streaked directly on the labelled agar plates such as eosin methylene blue, MacConkey, nutrient, blood, mannitol salt agar and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h and characterized.
