Antimicrobial Activity of Soil Clostridium Enriched Conditioned Media Against , , and .

The rise of antimicrobial resistant bacteria has fast-tracked the exploration for novel antimicrobial compounds. Reports on antimicrobial producing soil anaerobes such as spp. are very limited.

Antimicrobial production by strictly anaerobic Clostridium spp.

Antimicrobial resistance continues to rise on a global scale, affecting the environment, humans, animals and food systems. Use of natural antimicrobials has been favoured over synthetic molecules in food preservation owing to concerns over the adverse health effects of synthetic chemicals. The continuing need for novel natural antimicrobial compounds has spurred research to investigate natural sources, such as bacteria, for antimicrobials.
