Discovery and biosynthesis of biffamycin A – a novel glycotetrapeptide antibiotic

2025-09-22

Abstract excerpt

The clinical deployment of antibiotics is undermined by antimicrobial resistance. Without new agents to treat antibiotic resistant bacterial infections, mortality rates are predicted to reach 10 million people per year by 2050. Most antibiotics are derived from natural products (NPs) produced by bacteria; however, this resource was abandoned by industry because of high rediscovery rates. We are amid a natural prod...
