Corbomycin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corbomycin is a member of the glycopeptide family of antibiotics that are produced by soil bacteria.[1]

Corbomycin blocks autolysins by attaching to the peptidoglycan cell wall. As a result, the bacterium cannot divide, as division requires the wall to be broken down and remodeled.[2] Ordinary glycopeptides instead block cell wall formation.[1]
