Isolation and screening of Thermoactinomycetaceae family members as an extremophilic poor investigated and promising natural source of antimicrobial substances
Abstract:Background and Objectives: Recent evidences have shown that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can cause severe infections and is resistant to almost all commercially available antibiotics. Therefore, screening unknown sources of biological compounds such as the Thermoactinomycetaceae family as extremophilic bacteria may be helpful to find new antimicrobial agents.
Materials and Methods: Various samples were collected from different ecosystems, including desert, volcano, compost, and fore… Show more
