This study evaluates antimicrobial properties of actinomycetes against E. coli and K. pneumoniae, suggesting they may support drug development.

65% of isolated actinomycetes exhibited antibacterial activity against tested organisms, highlighting their potential for drug discovery.
The best-performing isolates AA12, AA13, and AA78 are classified within Amycolatopsis, Streptomyces, and Microtetraspora genera.
Using the standard plug assay, crude extracts from the isolates produced significant inhibition zones against multiple pathogens.
Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the diversity of actinomycetes found in BRIS soil, pointing to their potential in producing bioactive compounds.

Majhool et al. (2025) studied this question.
