description Streptomyces are well known for their competence to produce thousands of bioactive secondary metabolites and enzymes. This study aimed to assess the inhibitory activities of crude extracts from diverse Streptomyces collected from rice soils in Narathiwat, Thailand, against foodborne bacterial pathogens. In total, 136 Actinomycete isolates were screened using a cross-streak method for the ability to produce effective metabolites against 5 pathogenic bacteria. Out of these, 19 (13.97%) isolates had antibacterial activity against at least one tested bacterium. Most of the isolates could strongly suppress the growth of S. aureus ATCC25923 and B. cereus MTCC430 except P. aeruginosa ATCC27853. On the basis of morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics, all potent isolates exhibited typical features that fitted the genus Streptomyces. Two of the 7 selected ethyl acetate crude extracts had good antagonistic activity against S. aureus ATCC25923 and B. cereus MTCC430 when tested using the agar well diffusion assay. Furthermore, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of the 2 extracts evaluated using the colorimetric broth microdilution method ranged from 256 to >1,024 μg/ml against the tested bacteria. The partial nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene led to identifying both active isolates as Streptomyces species. These active Streptomyces isolates could provide an interesting source for generating innumerable natural compounds with antibacterial activity that can presumably be developed to fight bacterial pathogens in the near future.
