In this work, Xenorhabdus spp and Photorhabdus spp. were isolated from a local nematode strain Steinernema sp., Heterorahbitids sp, a foreign Heterorahbitids sp, a foreign well-identified strain, i.e., Steinernema riborvae and Heterorahbitids indica kindly supplied by Florida Statw University, USA. The identity of the isolated bacteria was authenticated referring to their cultural, morphological and biochemical traits as well as to their entomopathogenicity against Galleria mellonella, Agrotis ipsilon, Spodoptera littoralis and Rhynchophorus ferrugineus
