Cationic nonribosomal lipopeptides (CNRLPs) from spp. have been a rewarding source of Gram-negative-active antibiotics. Here we systematically screened sequenced bacterial genomes for CNRLP biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that we predicted might encode additional Gram-negative-active antibiotics. Total chemical synthesis of the bioinformatically predicted products of seven such BGCs led to our identification of new laterocidine, tridecaptin, and paenibacterin-like antibiotics with potent activity against both multiple-drug-resistant Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens.
来自 spp. 的阳离子非核糖体脂肽 (CNRLP) 一直是革兰氏阴性活性抗生素的丰富来源。在这里,我们系统地对测序细菌基因组进行了筛选,以寻找我们预测可能编码其他革兰氏阴性活性抗生素的 CNRLP 生物合成基因簇 (BGC)。对来自七个 BGC 的生物信息学预测产物进行了全化学合成,这导致我们发现了新的侧霉素、十三肽和巴宾菌素样抗生素,它们对多种耐药革兰氏阴性和革兰氏阳性病原体具有强大的活性。
