Background:

Actinomycetes are a prolific source of bioactive natural products, including antibiotics.
Screening fermentation broths for novel antibacterial agents is crucial for combating antimicrobial resistance.
Existing screening methods can be resource-intensive and require specialized containment.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a convenient microtiter plate-based method for screening antibacterial extracts.
To assess the efficacy of the method against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
To utilize low-risk bacteria (Risk Group 1) to simplify experimental procedures.

Main Methods:

Utilized a microtiter plate format for high-throughput screening of actinomycete fermentation extracts.
Employed Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Kocuria rhizophila (Gram-positive) as model organisms.
Focused on aerobic, non-fastidious bacterial strains to ensure broad applicability and ease of handling.

Main Results:

Demonstrated the feasibility of screening antibacterial activity in a microtiter plate format.
Successfully applied the method to identify potential antibacterial extracts from actinomycetes.
Validated the method's effectiveness against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Conclusions:

The described microtiter plate method offers a convenient and efficient approach for screening antibacterial compounds from actinomycetes.
This method facilitates the discovery of new antibiotics by simplifying the screening process.
The use of Risk Group 1 bacteria enhances safety and accessibility for researchers.
