“…Regardless of the advancement in antimicrobial therapy, several problems remain to be solved for the majority of accessible antimicrobial drugs. 1,5‐Benzothiazepines are recognized to show antimicrobial activities against various bacterial and fungal strains like Bacillus substilis , Bacillus pumilus , Staphylococcus aureus , Staphylococcus epidermidis , Klebsiella aerogenes , Fusarium oxysporum , Candida krusei , Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Klebsiella pneumoniae , Aspergillus fumigatus , Salmonella Typhi, Candida violaceum , Aspergillus niger , Aspergillus flavus , Candida albicans , and Trichophyton rubrum. Considering the aforementioned facts, we carried out the in vitro antimicrobial screening of all the synthesized indane‐based 1,5‐benzothiazepines ( 5 ) against two Gram‐positive bacterial strains, namely, Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441) and S. epidermidis (MTCC 6880); two Gram‐negative bacterial strains, namely, E. coli (MTCC 1652) and P. aeruginosa (MTCC 424); and two fungal strains, namely, C. albicans (MTCC 227) and A. niger (MTCC 8189) by using serial dilution method as explained earlier by Mor et al .…”
