![]() Antimicrobial activity was assessed against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including several multi-drug resistant pathogens. Although marine environments have been previously investigated as sources of novel antibiotics, studies on such environments are still limited and there remain opportunities for further discoveries and this study has used resources derived from an under-exploited region, the Vietnam Sea. We report the identification of antimicrobial activities, against a broad range of bacterial pathogens, from a collection of marine-derived spore-forming bacteria. There is an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents that can be used to control these life threating pathogens. The widespread occurrence of pathogenic bacteria resistant to last-line antibiotics has resulted in significant challenges in human and veterinary medicine.
