Marine microbes-derived anti-bacterial agents

Mini Rev Med Chem. 2010 Oct;10(11):1077-90. doi: 10.2174/1389557511009011077.

Abstract

This review covers natural products isolated from marine microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes published in the recent years. The emphasis is mainly about new compounds, together with their anti-bacterial activities, source organisms and country of origin, biosynthetic studies as well as the mechanisms involved in their anti-bacterial activities.
