A total of 50 actinomycete isolates were isolated from different locations in Yemen (Sana’a, Taiz, Ibb and Alhodida). Agar disc diffusion method that used for screening antibacterial and antifungal activities were more effective and give better results than agar well diffusion method. Antibacterial activity of isolates was more effective than antifungal activity. All five selected isolates for study were active against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Microsporium canis. According to taxonomy of actinomycetes (Morphological, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomy characters), all selected isolates were identified as members belonging to genus Streptomyces (S. glaucescenes, S. luridus, S. antibioticus, S. exfoliatus and S. filipinensis).
