Abstract
An exponential increase in population growth along with the alarming rise in bacterial infections invokes the need to find antimicrobial agents to tackle public health issues. Research to discover novel antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria has become pivotal, especially after the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic. Previous reports have proved that several endophytic bacteria and fungi are found to produce various antibacterial compounds and secondary metabolites that can be treated against many resistant pathogenic microorganisms. The innocuous colonization of the endophytic bacteria inside the host and their ability to synthesize various beneficial compounds has led to various researches to exploit them for medicinal applications. This review was compiled with the aim of focusing on the importance of endophytes as a source of antibacterial agent against other pathogens; thus exploring the hidden realm of endophytes as a potent source in the field of medicine
