Abstract: The indisputable role of Actinobacteria (aka “actinomycetes”) in the pharmaceutical industry is represented by its innate capability to produce antibiotics, but little is known about the antifungal compounds they could also be producing. Among the Actinobacteria,the genus Streptomyces produces antagonistic molecules against several pathogenic fungi and search/discovery programs should be revisited due to novel and/or poorly studied fungal emerging diseases in humans and plants. In humans, this is certainly important because novel antifungal therapies are among the most challenging problems in intensive care medicine. The present study focused on the isolation and identification of novel organisms of the genus Streptomyces and their evaluation for antifungal activities.
