Abstract
Janthinocins A, B and C are novel antibacterial agents produced by Janthinobacterium lividum. They were isolated from fermentation broths and characterized by UV, IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. They are cyclic decapeptide lactones with marked activity against aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria and are 2 to 4 times more potent in vitro than vancomycin. Janthinocins A and B were also found to be effective in a Staphylococcus aureus systemic infection in mice. © 1990, JAPAN ANTIBIOTICS RESEARCH ASSOCIATION. All rights reserved.
