Marine Environment: A Potential Pool of Isolating Antibiotic Producing Bacteria with Novel Characteristics
Journal Title: Microbiology Research Journal International - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Aims: This review article analyze the data based on antibiotic producing bacteria isolated from different poles of marine environment globally and further more their antibiotic potential against different pathogenic microbes. Microorganisms are potential source of metabolites with useful antimicrobial, antiviral and anticancer properties. Especially microbes of different environment show versatility in antibiotic producing ability. Thus there is always a need for exploring new microbes for promising antibiotic producing ability with an alternative mode of action and new chemical structures. Bacterial pathogens are gradually becoming more resistant to conventional antibiotics. So these resistance bacterial pathogens generating an emergence of infectious diseases and they are becoming a great problem in the field of public health. Conclusion: Marine bacteria can be proved a source of novel antibiotics against many resistant pathogens.
