The continuous use of the antibiotics makes the organisms resistive, so there is need to look for new antibiotics. Samples collected from various regions of the Jammu, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab and were screened for antimicrobial activity against the targeted bacteria to find the antimicrobial agents against these strains. 35 samples were collected out of which 6 samples showed the positive response towards various multidrug resistant strains. Isolated microorganism from Hospital dump soil (HDS), Rock soil (RS) and Himachal agriculture soil (H.S) showed a better antimicrobial activity against the targeted strains. The morphological, biochemical and molecular test were performed for the identification of microorganisms.
