Spectrum of antibacterial activity and mode of action of a novel tris-stilbene bacteriostatic compound
Abstract The spectrum of activity and mode of action of a novel antibacterial agent, 135C, was investigated using a range of microbiological and genomic approaches. Compound 135C was active against Gram-positive bacteria with MICs for Staphylococcus aureus ranging from 0.12–0.5 μg/ml. It was largely...
