Medicines developed from natural sources are a frequent target for the research and discovery of antimicrobial compounds. Discovering of penicillin in 1928 was a motive to explore of nature as a source of new antimicrobial agents. Fungi produce a diverse range of bioactive metabolites, making them rich source of different types of medicines. The purpose of this paper was to review studies on antibacterials from terrestrial Aspergillus published exclusively during 1942-2018, with emphasis on their antibacterial activities, structures, and mechanisms of action if present. According to the results from different studies in the world, large number of compounds and extracts showed different activities against different bacterial species, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The most prominent result was that of the compound CJ-17,665, isolated from A. ochraceus, showing good activity against multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is well-recognised to be one of the most important current public health problem. These findings may motivate scientists to undertake a project that may result in the development of novel antibacterial drugs from terrestrial-derived Aspergillus spp., although further toxicity assays (in vivo) must be performed before their application.
