Antimicrobial Potential of Metabolites in Fungal Strains Isolated from a Polluted Stream: WL1B5 Produces Metabolites against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Positive .

The emergence of multidrug resistance in bacterial pathogens is a growing public health concern requiring solutions including the discovery of new antimicrobial drugs. Fungi have been used for decades as a source of antimicrobials. Ongoing screenings for newly characterized fungal strains producing antimicrobials include environments that are difficult to access like the deep sea, glaciers, wastewaters and environments polluted due to human activity.
