The Nonantibiotic Small Molecule Cyslabdan Enhances the Potency of β-Lactams against MRSA by Inhibiting Pentaglycine Interpeptide Bridge Synthesis

The nonantibiotic small molecule cyslabdan, a labdan-type diterpene produced by Streptomyces sp. K04-0144, markedly potentiated the activity of the β-lactam drug imipenem against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). To study the mechanism of action of cyslabdan, the proteins that bind...
