Twenty soil samples were collected from Hilla City. Six Streptomyces spp. isolates were identified. These isolates have grey aerial mycelium color and yellow-green substrate mycelium color on yeast malt extract agar. Antibacterial activity of Streptomyces spp. isolates were estimated against S. aureus. Streptomyces spp.4 showed higher activity with (20mm) inhibition zone compared with other isolates and was selected for extraction of antibacterial agent. Streptomyces spp.4 agent showed higher activity against S. aureus with (22mm) inhibition zone, (14mm) against E. coli and lower activity against P. aeruginosa (12mm). FT-IR spectrum for agent had a peak between (3387-3369 cm-1) indicate to presence (N-H) stretching in primary, secondary amine and amide, peak at (2928.04) indicate the presence of (C-H) stretching in aliphatic compound, peak at (1649.19) indicate the presence of (N-H) bend in primary amine compound and a peak at 1026.16 (=C-H) bending in aliphatic compound.
