Deskripsi
Host microbiomes are feasible sources for drug discovery. Here, using large-scale isolations, bioactivity assays and omics, the authors uncover the antimicrobial potential of insect-associated Streptomyces and identify a compound, cyphomycin, active against multidrug-resistant fungal pathogens.
