Abstract
ESKAPE pathogens comprise six bacteria that can be highly virulent and are likely to develop antibiotic resistance to many of the currently available antibiotics. New antibiotics are needed to combat these pathogens. Our approach was to isolate and identify antimicrobial compounds from bacteria isolated from soil. Two isolates demonstrating antimicrobial activity were identified as Chromobacterium sp. and Alcaligenes parafaecalis. Preliminary extraction of their antimicrobials was performed.
