Enramycin

A polypeptide antibiotic (a cyclodepsipeptide) produced by Streptomyces fungicidicus, described in Japan in 1968. It is used as a feed additive for chickens and pigs to prevent necrotic enteritis caused by Gram-positive bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.

Did you know?The producing bacterium was isolated from a soil sample collected in Nishinomiya, Japan; and the antibiotic is actually a pair of molecules, A and B, which differ by a single CH2 group.
