Asst. Prof. Dr. Hastyar Hamarashid Najmuldeen from the College of Health Sciences at Cihan University–Sulaimaniya, has published a new research article in the esteemed international journal of Microbiology. The study, entitled “Isolation of Streptomyces spp. Exhibiting Potent Anti-Biofilm Activity Against Clinically Isolated Bacterial Strains,” highlights an innovative approach to combat the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through targeting bacterial biofilms.
In this study, Dr. Najmuldeen and his research team isolated Streptomyces species from soil samples and identified Streptomyces albogriseolus as a potent producer of antibiofilm compounds. These bioactive metabolites demonstrated significant activity against drug-resistant pathogens, particularly Acinetobacter baumannii and Escherichia coli, by inhibiting both bacterial growth and biofilm formation. The research applied advanced methods, including 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantitative biofilm assays, to evaluate the efficacy of these bioactive compounds.
This work presents a promising alternative strategy for managing persistent and hard-to-treat infections associated with biofilms, particularly in clinical settings where commercial antibiotics often fail. The findings reinforce the therapeutic potential of soil-derived Actinomycetes and call for further investigation into their mechanisms of action.
This work reflects the university’s commitment to addressing global health challenges and promoting the development of effective, evidence-based solutions.
The journal is indexed in Scopus (Q2) and Cite Score of 7.9, an Impact Factor of 2.8.
