Scientists have discovered a new, highly potent antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone within a well-studied bacterium, which is over 100 times more effective against resistant bacteria like MRSA and VRE, and shows no resistance development, offering a promising new approach to combat antimicrobial resistance.
Researchers discovered a new, potent antibiotic intermediate called pre-methylenomycin C lactone in the bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor, which is over 100 times more effective against resistant Gram-positive bacteria like MRSA and VRE, with no detected resistance development, offering promising potential in combating antimicrobial resistance.
Chemists from Warwick and Monash Universities discovered a new, potent antibiotic, pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding as an intermediate in the natural biosynthesis of methylenomycin A. This compound shows over 100 times greater activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including resistant strains like MRSA and VRE, and may offer a new approach to combat antimicrobial resistance. The next steps involve pre-clinical testing and further development.
