Large-scale investigation for antimicrobial activity reveals novel defensive species across the healthy skin microbiome
2024-11-04
Abstract excerpt
The human skin microbiome constitutes a dynamic barrier that can impede pathogen invasion by producing antimicrobial natural products. Gene clusters encoding for production of secondary metabolites, biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), that are enriched in the human skin microbiome relative to other ecological settings, position this niche as a promising source for new natural product mining. Here, we introduce a ne...
