Discovery of cationic nonribosomal peptides as Gram-negative antibiotics through global genome mining
Microbial genomes encode enzymes for biosynthesis of many uncharacterized peptides. Here, the authors screen over 7,300 bacterial genomes for potential biosynthesis of cationic non-ribosomal peptides, and identify two novel peptides with activities against antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative pathogen...
