Enramycin B(CAT: R066516) is a cyclic polypeptide antibiotic produced by certain strains of Streptomyces bacteria. It is one of the two main components of Enramycin, an antibiotic used primarily in veterinary medicine to promote growth and improve feed efficiency in livestock by preventing bacterial infections. Enramycin B exerts its antibacterial effects by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in Gram-positive bacteria, making it particularly effective against a range of pathogenic organisms in animals. Its mode of action involves binding to the bacterial cell wall precursors, disrupting the synthesis and leading to cell death. Enramycin B is crucial for maintaining animal health and improving agricultural productivity while also being studied for its potential applications in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
