In this manuscript, we describe the design, preparation, and studies of antimicrobial activity of a series of novel heteroarylated benzothiazoles. A molecular hybridization approach was used for the designing compounds. The in vitro evaluation exposed that these compounds showed moderate antibacterial activity. Compound 2j was found to be the most potent (MIC/MBC at 0.23–0.94 mg/mL and 0.47–1.88 mg/mL)
