<i>In Silico</i> Prediction and Analysis of Unusual Lantibiotic Resistance Operons in the Genus <i>Corynebacterium</i>
Post-translationally modified, (methyl-)lanthionine-containing peptides are produced by several Gram-positive bacteria. These so-called lantibiotics have potent activity against various bacterial pathogens including multidrug-resistant strains and are thus discussed as alternatives to antibiotics. S...
