Biosynthetic gene cluster and antimicrobial activity of the elfamycin antibiotic factumycin

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Gram negative pathogens are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant and consequently a serious clinical challenge. We screened a library of Actinomycetes collected across a number of environments in Cuba for the production of metabolites that inhibited the growth of the pathogenic multidrug resistant Gram negative pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. One of these actinomycetes, WAC5292, produced a compound with se...
