Breeding of High Daptomycin-Producing Strain by Streptomycin Resistance Superposition.

Daptomycin is a cyclolipopeptide antibiotic produced by . It is widely used to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections; however, daptomycin yield in wild strains is very low. To improve the daptomycin production by the strain BNCC 342432, a modified method of ribosome engineering with superposition of streptomycin resistance was adopted in this study.
