Abstract

Antibiotics are chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and are used to treat bacterial infection. They are produced in nature by soil, bacteri and fungi. Soil is the outer region of earth crust consisting of loose material. In this soil samples from different areas were collected (soil from vegetable dump areas, normal street soil from different areas in sattenapalli, gutur) and analysed for different bacterial colonies from soil sample was carried out and tested for antibiotic producing activity. The isolated strains showed permanent zones of inhibition. The inhibitory activity of the organism was checked against important micoibial flora. In the present study a trail was done to find out a new antimicrobial agent producing bacteria from soil samples collected from different places.
