Abstract:Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major health threats of the modern world. Thus, new structural classes of antimicrobial compounds are needed in order to overcome existing resistance. Cystobactamids as such a new compound class inhibit the well-established target bacterial type II topoisomerases while exhibiting superior antibacterial and resistance-breaking properties. Understanding potential mechanisms of emerging resistances is crucial in the development of novel antibiotics as they directly impact th… Show more
