Antimicrobial drug resistance from livestock products is a growing hazard for humans worldwide. Microbes are a rich source of structurally distinct bioactive compounds designed to protect the microbes and can offset antimicrobial resistance challenge. In that vein, microbes were screened for biosurfactant release from the broiler gastrointestinal tract, isolated and identified using 16S rRNA technique, annotated by similarity using BLASTn analysis against the NCBI nucleotide database. Phylogenetic analysis was performed on the BLASTn outcome to have an appreciation of the evolutionary genetic relationships.
