Abstract

Streptomyces species, a subgroup of Actinomycetes bacteria, have been analysed for their antiviral properties. These bioactive secondary metabolites, which have a broad spectrum of chemical structures and strong biological activity, offer a promising opportunity for new antiviral therapeutics against various viral infections. These metabolites target different stages of viral replication or interactions with host cells, making them important for biological research and pharmaceutical development. Streptomyces bacteria

contain numerous antiviral mechanisms that inhibit viral infections at different stages of the viral life cycle. Streptomyces and other actinomycetes can improve the health of people with viruses, and recent research suggests that combining Streptomyces with other bacterial species could improve overall health and regulate infections. This emphasises the importance of comprehensive approaches to combating viral infections and research into natural products. Further research into multispecies combinations of Streptomyces and other bacterial species is needed to fully utilise their therapeutic potential against viral diseases.
