Sixty eight samples were collected in different soils of Paraiba, with the isolation of forty nine strains of Streptomyces spp. After screening antimicrobial followed the method of diffusion in solid medium with agar block, the extracts were prepared from microorganism producers of bioactive metabolites, respectively strains SP1 and SP3, and then evaluated for antifungal activity against strains of filamentous fungi of clinical origin and ATCC. The antagonism was determined through testing of diffusion disc in solid medium, microdilution and kinetics of microbial death. The inhibition zones obtained from extracts of Sp-1 and Sp-3 showed antagonistic effect with values greater than the halos of inhibition promoted by the drug control, often used in antifungal therapy. The results of minimum inhibitory concentrations in microdilution were significant with fungicide values ranging between 10 mg and 0.078125 mg. In the kinetics of microbial death, the activities of the extracts Sp-1 and Sp-3 resulted in statistically significant data front of strains tested.
