Antibiotics are the substances that destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms particularly disease producing bacteria and fungi. They are obtained from microorganisms. Streptomyces is the largest genus of actinobacteria (Streptomycetaceae). They produce over two-thirds of the clinically useful antibiotics of natural origin, e.g., neomycin, chloramphenicol.
