Discovery of cahuitamycins as biofilm inhibitors derived from a convergent biosynthetic pathway

Pathogenic microbes can often attach to surfaces and form biofilms that display increased antibiotic resistance. Here, the authors characterize the biosynthesis of a new class of natural products, the cahuitamycins, that inhibit formation of biofilms by the pathogenic bacterium Acinetobacter baumann...
