18 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Burkholdines are cyclic lipopeptides with unusual antifungal potency, making them promising leads as a new class of antifungal agents. However, a recent report using knockout mutagenesis indicates that these and related compounds, such as occidiofungins, xylocandins, and cepacidines, may also be synonymous with the long-known hemolytic virulence factors found in diverse Burkholderia isolates. Because of their...
