Oxanthromicin, a novel antibiotic from Actinomadura.

Abstract

In the course of screening for novel antibiotics, a new solvent extractable antibiotic, oxanthromicin, was isolated from an unusual Actinomadura sp. SCC 1646. Oxanthromicin exhibited good in vitro activity against dermatophytic fungi, as well as moderate activity against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus.
