technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microorganisms, and relates to a new daptomycin-producing streptomyces strain and application thereof. Background technique
[0002] Daptomycin is a cyclolipopeptide antibiotic with a new structure extracted from the fermentation broth of S. reseosporus. It was discovered by Eli Lilly and Company in the 1980s and developed by Cubist Pharmaceuticals in 1997. Successful, it not only has a novel chemical structure, but also its mode of action is different from any approved antibiotic: it hinders the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan by disrupting the transport of amino acids by the cell membrane, and changes the cytoplasmic membrane. It can destroy the function of bacterial cell membrane in many ways, and quickly kill Gram-positive bacteria. In addition to its ability to act on most clinically relevant Gram-positive bacteria, daptomycin is more important for isolates that have shown resistance to meth...
