Isolation of Streptomyces spp. exhibiting antibacterial effects on ESBL, KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae, and MRSA, indicating potential for addressing antibiotic resistance.
Key Points
Isolated nine actinobacteria showing antagonistic activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Two strains demonstrated activity against all tested resistant strains, including ESBL and KPC producers.
Identification included molecular techniques, confirming several species of Streptomyces as potential antibiotic sources.
Findings imply that rhizosphere and compost systems are valuable for discovering antibacterial agents.
