A screening method for new antimicrobial agents from streptomyces culture filtrates was developed. Three different types of test organisms were used for determining the antimicrobial activities of the culture filtrates: they were (a) an antibacterial activity test against Staphylococcus aureus, (b) an antimycoplasmal activity test against Acholeplasma laidlawii, and (c) a cytotoxicity test against HeLa-S3 cells. The active filtrates showing antimicrobial spectra (anticellogram) which did not match those of known antimicrobial agents were used for further purification to obtain new antimicrobial agents. Of these screening methods, antimycoplasmal activity against Acholeplasma laidawii was the most sensitive for discriminating new compounds contained in the filtrates of known antibiotics.
