Using novel natural compounds, antimicrobial peptides, and bacteriophages is the most promising solution. In this study, various cationic metabolite-producer bacteria were isolated from different soil samples. Two isolates were identified as\n \n \n Stenotrophomonas maltophilia<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n HS4 (accession number: MW791428) and\n \n \n Paenibacillus polymyxa<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n HS5 (accession number: MW791430) based on biochemical characteristics and phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences. The cationic compound in the fermentation broth was precipitated and purified with sodium tetraphenylborate salt. The purified cationic peptide was confirmed to be epsilon-poly-l-lysine by structural and molecular analysis using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, Sodium dodecyl-sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity of epsilon-poly-l-lysine was evaluated against\n \n \n Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n ATCC 25923,\n \n \n Escherichia coli<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n ATCC 25922,\n \n \n Enterococcus faecalis<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n ATCC 29212,\n \n \n Serratia marcescens<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n ATCC 13880, and\n \n \n Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n ATCC 13883 by microdilution method. Furthermore, the antibacterial effects of purified epsilon-poly-l-lysine in combination with two long non-contractile tail bacteriophages against vancomycin-resistant\n \n \n Enterococcus faecalis<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n and colistin-resistant\n \n \n Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n were investigated. The results indicated great antibacterial activity of epsilon-poly-l-lysine which was produced by two novel bacteria. The epsilon-poly-l-lysine as a potent cationic antimicrobial peptide is demonstrated to possess great antimicrobial activity against pathogenic and also antibiotic-resistant bacteria.\n
