Improvement of pristinamycin I (PI) production in Streptomyces pristinaespiralis by metabolic engineering approaches

Pristinamycin, produced by Streptomyces pristinaespiralis, which is a streptogramin-like antibiotic consisting of two chemically unrelated components: pristinamycin I (PI) and pristinamycin II (PII), shows potent activity against many antibiotic-resistant pathogens. However, so far pristinamycin pro...
