Actinomycetes are considered as a natural sink for production of antibiotics. Since many decades, the actinomycetes have drawn attention to mankind because of synthesis of bioactive metabolites. Among these antibiotics are considered to be the most potent biomolecules effective against infectious agents including bacteria, viruses and more of fungal strains. This mini review emphasized upon the antibacterial agents, synthesized in the power house of actinomycetes. The antibiotics belonging to class of aminoglycosides, macrolides, tetracyclines, penicillins and moreover, Rifampicin‘s are of utmost importance in clinical set up. The antibiotics have taken the throne to regulate the degree of infection cause by candidate bacteria including both Gram positive and Gram negatives. The tubercle bacteria are also inhibited by the antibiotic namely Rifampicin, which is a potential product of Streptomyces. The mechanism of action of each of antibiotic molecules is target oriented. The antibiotics are able to interact with Bacterial cell wall cross linkage enzymes, Ribosomes, RNA polymerases, protein synthesis events, thus killing the bacteria. Therefore, it may be concluded that this literature survey had inferred about the specific drug categories, synthesized from Actinomycetes and respective target oriented mechanism of action. It was also found that Actinomycetes are never ending source of bioactive compounds. Therefore, studies are mandate to reveal the Pandora‘s Box containing the bioactive antibiotics from the actinomycetal strains.
