General Description

Subtilosin A is a potent antimicrobial peptide produced by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. It belongs to the class of lantibiotics, which are characterized by the presence of unusual amino acids and a post-translational modification process. Subtilosin A has a strong ability to inhibit the growth of a wide range of bacteria, including drug-resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Its mechanism of action involves disrupting the integrity of bacterial cell membranes, leading to cell death. Due to its broad-spectrum activity and low likelihood of inducing resistance, subtilosin A has garnered interest as a potential therapeutic agent for combating bacterial infections in various settings, including medical, agricultural, and food preservation. Additionally, its stability and safety profile make it an attractive candidate for incorporation into various products and formulations for practical use.
