Several antibiotic resistance markers in Bacillus subtilis have been mapped by three-factor transduction crosses using bacteriophage PBS1. These markers, which are thought to be located in genes coding for ribosomal proteins, are within a segment comprising about 5 per cent of the B. subtilis genetic map, close to the major group of rRNA cistrons. The order of genetic makers in this region was found to be cysA14 mic-1 dagger str-1 (ery-1, ole-2) spc-2 bry-2 lin-2. The positions of neo-2, nea-1, and kan-2 are uncertain, although they are located in this region to the right of cysA14.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) causes osteomyelitis (OM), which seriously threatens public health due to its antimicrobial resistance. To increase the sensitivity of antibiotics and eradicate intracellular bacteria, a Zn and vancomycin (Van) codelivered nanotherapeutic (named Man-Zn/Van NPs) was fabricated and characterized via mannose (Man) modification. Man-Zn/Van NPs exhibit significant inhibitory activity against extra- and intracellular MRSA and obviously decrease the minimum inhibitory concentration of Van.

The rapid emergence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogenic microbes has accelerated the search for novel therapeutic agents. Here we report the discovery of antarmycin A (), an antibiotic containing a symmetric 16-membered macrodiolide core with two pendant vancosamine moieties, one of which is glucosylated, from deep-sea-derived SCSIO 07407. The biosynthetic gene cluster of was identified on a giant plasmid featuring transferable elements.
