New approaches to antibiotic discovery

Abstract: New antibiotics are urgently required by human medicine as pathogens emerge with developed resistance to almost all antibiotic classes. Pioneering approaches, methodologies and technologies have facilitated a new era in antimicrobial discovery. Innovative culturing techniques such as iChip and co-culturing methods which use 'helper' strains to produce bioactive molecules have had notable success. Exploiting antibiotic resistance to identify antibacterial producers performed in tandem with diagnostic PCR based … Show more

“…It has become critical to develop novel antibiotics to overcome forth coming challenge of treating infectious diseases. 26,27 We were interested if any of the soil bacterial isolates has the ability to produce chemicals that inhibit other bacterial growth. All the isolates were tested for antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria (data not shown).…”

“…The expression of cryptic gene clusters is conditioned and can be activated by genetic manipulations of essential genes (7,8). One of the approaches is to replace the native promoters of biosynthetic structural genes with constitutive promoters.…”

“…Two Streptomyces strains, isolated from Dendroctonus frontalis beetles, inhibit the antagonistic Ophiostoma fungus, but not the mutualistic fungus Entomocorticium, suggesting a defensive role that supports the beetle-fungus mutualism. The molecules responsible for this selective antifungal activity are the polyketide mycangimycin [70] and the polycyclic tetramate macrolactams, frontalamides A and B [71,72].…”

“…Nonculturable microorganisms are, in fact, a majority, and they represent an important challenge in the screening for new secondary metabolites. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has revealed the big pharmacological potential of uncultured bacteria; hence, approaches to improve cultivation-based methods, such as isolation chip (iChip), which is a method of culturing bacteria within its soil environment, or co-cultures, culturing actinomycetes with other bacteria (generally species with which they naturally coexist), are being used successfully [70][71][72]. The combination of iChip and unexplored ecosystems or symbiotic relationships, mentioned above, is promising as well.…”
