Aerocavin is an antibiotic with potent and specific anti-Neisserial activity

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Gonorrhea, caused by N. gonorrhoeae , is a widespread sexually transmitted disease that is becoming resistant to all currently used antibiotics. Therefore, new therapeutics against gonorrhea are desperately needed. Here, we show that a natural product - aerocavin, is highly potent and specific against Neisseria . Aerocavin accumulates in N. gonorrhoeae at high levels and inhibits bacterial RN...
