Platensimycin is an antibiotic derived from Streptomyces platensis that selectively inhibits the biosynthesis of cellular lipids in gram-positive bacteria. It targets the β-ketoacyl-acyl-carrier-protein synthase I/II enzymes, FabF/B, with IC50 values of 48 nM and 160 nM for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. With its unique mechanism of action, Platensimycin shows potential as a therapeutic agent to combat antibiotic resistance.
