Abstract

Bacteria with increase antibiotics resistant caused serious health treat worldwide. Regular surveillance of resistance spectra and clonal relationship of infectious bacteria are important for appropriate use of antibiotics. In this study, we investigated the antibiotic resistant pattern and clonal relationship of Enterobacter spp isolated from different clinical samples of a tertiary care hospital of Odisha, India. The results of this study indicated the presence of multidrug resistant Enterobacter spp with multiple β-lactamases production. The phylogenetic tree showed three unique clusters of ERIC within the nineteen Enterobacter spp. isolates.

Keywords

Abstract

Nine actinobacteria were isolated from the mangrove soil of Bhitarkanika and screened for their bioactive metabolites and antimicrobial property. Out of the nine actinobacterial isolates, the bacterial isolateBAB-7 showed positive activity towards most of the enzymesscreened,i.e., Cellulase, phosphate solubilization, L-asparaginase, protease, and amylase. The actinobacterial isolate BAB-7 also exhibited antimicrobial activity against K. pneumoniae, V. alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus, P. aeruginosa,E. coli, S. typhimurium, and S. salivarius. Based on biochemical characterization, the actinobacterial isolate BAB-7 was identified asSteptomcessp.The secondary metabolites produced by the bacterial strain were analyzed through GC-mass spectroscopy and found to besimilar to the peaks of2-cyclohex-3-en-1-yl-2-oxoacetic acid derivative (ketomycin).

Keywords
