Streptomyces avermitilis is a bacterium species in the genus Streptomyces.

The first complete genome sequence of S. avermitilis was completed in 2003.[4] This genome forms a chromosome with a linear structure, unlike most bacterial genomes, which exist in the form of circular chromosomes.[5]

Avermectins are produced from S. avermitilis.[1] One of the most widely employed drugs against nematode and arthropod infestations is the avermectin derivative ivermectin, as well as abamectin, a widely used insecticide and antihelmintic.

Streptomyces avermitilis is part of normal, healthy placental microbiome.[6][7]
