Evaluation of the antimicrobial potential of actinomycetes isolated from mangrove soils in the municipality of São João de Pirabas, Pará, Brazil
The present work aimed to characterize mangrove-derived actinomycetes strains isolated from São João de Pirabas mangrove in Pará State of Brazil and evaluate their antimicrobial action against clinical importance bacteria. Sixteen isolated actinomycetes strains were evaluated by their morphology and biochemical features and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp. and Enterococcus faecalis.
