The two most common antibiotics obtained from actinomycetes are streptomycin and tetracycline. Streptomycin is a natural antibiotic produced by Streptomyces bacteria, while tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from a species of soil-dwelling bacteria called Streptomyces aureofaciens. Both of these antibiotics are effective against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, and can be used to treat a variety of infections. They have been found to be particularly effective against Gram-positive bacteria, and are commonly used in the treatment of tuberculosis and other bacterial infections.
