| Abstract |
| Foodborne infections kill thousands of people every year all over the world. Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus are two of the most widespread foodborne bacteria found in meat, and they have become multidrug-resistant to a wide range of commercial antibiotics. This study aimed to look for alternative antibacterial substances derived from actinomycetes isolated from a medicinal plant in Sinai, Egypt, against multidrug-resistant Salmonella spp and S. aureus . All the S.aureus and Salmonella isolates were found resistant to at least two antibiotics and were considered multidrug resistant. 11 out of 41 actinomycetes extracts had high antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens S.aureus and Salmonella spp. Results of the present study have shown that the antimicrobial compound derived from extracts of the endophytic actinomycetes may be useful in developing antibiotics against multidrug-resistant bacteria. The antibacterial substance generated from extracts of endophytic actinomycetes may be useful in the development of antibiotics against multidrug-resistant bacteria, according to the result of this research. |
