Catacandins, novel anticandidal antibiotics of bacterial origin.
Two novel antibiotics, catacandin A and catacandin B, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the bacterium, Lysobacter gummosus, by extraction and adsorption, reverse-phase and gel filtration chromatography. On the basis of their physico-chemical properties, they are acyltetramic acids that are easily distinguishable from others in this class. Catacandin A and catacandin B possess good an...
متن کاملNovel approaches to developing new antibiotics for bacterial infections.
Antibiotics are an essential part of modern medicine. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant mutants among bacteria is seemingly inevitable, and results, within a few decades, in decreased efficacy and withdrawal of the antibiotic from widespread usage. The traditional answer to this problem has been to introduce new antibiotics that kill the resistant mutants. Unfortunately, after more than 50 ...
متن کاملBacterial Carbonic Anhydrases as Drug Targets: Toward Novel Antibiotics?
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are metalloenzymes which catalyze the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and protons. Many pathogenic bacteria encode such enzymes belonging to the α-, β-, and/or γ-CA families. In the last decade, the α-CAs from Neisseria spp. and Helicobacter pylori as well as the β-class enzymes from Escherichia coli, H. pylori,Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Brucell...
متن کاملCephabacin M1-6, new 7-methoxycephem antibiotics of bacterial origin. II. Isolation, characterization and structural determination.
Six components of new cephem antibiotics, cephabacin M1-6, were isolated from the culture filtrate of Xanthomonas lactamgena YK-431 by various types of column chromatographies and preparative reverse-phase HPLC. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses and degradation studies. They consist of 7-methoxydeacetylcephalosporin C as a nucleus and a tri- to heptapeptide including a ...
متن کاملAnticandidal immunity and vaginitis: novel opportunities for immune intervention.
The majority of human Candida infections occur at a mucosal surface. One of these infections, vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), is a widespread, common disease affecting a large proportion of otherwise healthy women. Some women undergo recurrent forms of VVC (RVVC); in these cases the quality of life is devastated, the associated cost of medical visits is high, there is substantial use of unpresc...
