Abstract:

Antagonism refers to the action of any organism that suppresses the normal growth and activity of a pathogen. Actinomycetes are well known for the production of life-saving drugs such as antibiotics. Many pathogens have antibiotic resistance capacity which requires an extensive study on determining an alternative source from natural products. The main objective of the present study was isolation and characterization of Actinomycetes from the marine sample, which having antagonistic activity against selected human pathogenic strains.

Keywords:

 Actinomycetes, antagonistic activity, human pathogens.
