Antibiotic resistance is spreading at a faster rate than new antibiotic agents applied for clinical remedies. It is an urgent need to discover potential compounds to combat multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Marine fungi offer a promising avenue for mining antibiotic-like molecules with chemical diversity. To discover structurally novel and antibiotic metabolites, we screened the in-house marine fungus genome library and found a fungus LZD-10-1 containing a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) cluster with 18 modules to synthesize a new subfamily of peptaibols with effective eradication against MDR pathogens. Targeting isolation of the cultured fungus afforded six new peptaibols, which exhibit the ability to kill MDR bacteria by targeting bacterial membrane phospholipids, especially phosphatidylglycerol (PG), leading to the dysfunction of bacterial membranes. Furthermore, their efficacies against methicillin-resistant (MRSA) in both and mouse wound infection models were observed. This study underscores the significance of employing genome-guided approaches to identify untapped marine fungi as potential sources for novel antibiotic candidates with unique scaffolds.
抗生素耐药性的传播速度比用于临床治疗的新型抗生素药物更快。迫切需要发现潜在的化合物来对抗多重耐药(MDR)细菌。海洋真菌为挖掘具有化学多样性的类抗生素分子提供了一条有前景的途径。为了发现结构新颖的抗生素代谢产物,我们筛选了内部的海洋真菌基因组文库,发现了一种真菌LZD-10-1,它含有一个具有18个模块的非核糖体肽合成酶(NRPS)簇,可合成一个新的杀真菌肽亚家族,对MDR病原体具有有效的根除作用。对培养的真菌进行靶向分离得到了六种新的杀真菌肽,它们通过靶向细菌膜磷脂,特别是磷脂酰甘油(PG)来杀死MDR细菌,导致细菌膜功能障碍。此外,还观察到了它们在体外和小鼠伤口感染模型中对耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的疗效。这项研究强调了采用基因组导向方法来识别未开发的海洋真菌作为具有独特支架的新型抗生素候选物潜在来源的重要性。
