Teixobactin and Its Analogues: A New Hope in Antibiotic Discovery.
ACS Infectious Diseases 2017 October 14
Increasing bacterial resistance against current antibiotics and lack of new molecules to combat bacterial resistance are key challenges to global health. There is, therefore, a continuing need to develop new antibiotics. Teixobactin, a cyclic undecapeptide, displays excellent antibacterial activities against a range of pathogenic bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Interestingly, it operates by multiple modes of actions and is bactericidal toward S. aureus without detectable resistance. This unique combination of wide Gram-positive activity coupled with its inability to elicit resistance make teixobactin a very attractive molecule for antimicrobial therapeutic development. This Viewpoint discusses teixobactin, its analogues, and the challenges and opportunities associated with their future development.
