Discovery of a family of menaquinone-targeting cyclic lipodepsipeptides for multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens

Abstract Menaquinone (MK) in bacterial membrane is an attractive target for the development of novel therapeutic agents. Mining the untapped chemical diversity encoded by Gram-negative bacteria presents an opportunity to identify additional MK-binding antibiotics (MBAs). By MK-binding motif searchin...
