This cluster produces a cocktail of four antibiotics and one protein that target the production of biotin. The combination attacks multiple stages of a metabolic pathway essential for bacterial growth.What's confirmed:University of Illinois Chicago researchers discovered a new antibiotic that targets drug-resistant superbugs.The discovery involves a gene megacluster in Streptomyces bacteria.The gene cluster produces five compounds consisting of four antibiotics and a protein.These compound
