Padalkar R. R. , Peshwe S. A.

Abstract :

The present study was aimed at isolation of anti–MRSA (Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) producing actinomycetes and its characterization. A total of 98 actinomycetes were isolated from soil samples collected from various regions and were screened for anti–MRSA activity. The selected strain RS 2 which gave highest antibiotic activity against MRSA was selected for further studies. A combination of morphological studies, biochemical characterization and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA genes provided strong evidence that the strain belongs to Streptomyces sp. which showed 99% similarity with Streptomyces sp. TRM 46626.
