Identification of Antimicrobial Compounds in Two Streptomyces sp. Strains Isolated From Beehives.

ABSTRACT: The World Health Organization warns that the alarming increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria will lead to 2.7 million deaths annually due to the lack of effective antibiotic therapies. Clearly, there is an urgent need for short-term alternatives that help to alleviate these alarming figures. In this respect, the scientific community is exploring neglected ecological niches from which the prototypical antibiotic-producing bacteria Streptomycetes are expected to be present. Recent studies have reported that honeybees and their products carry Streptomyces species that possess strong antibacterial activity. In this study, we have investigated the antibiotic profile of two Streptomycetes strains that were isolated from beehives. One of the isolates is the strain Streptomyces albus<
