Description: Enramycin or Enduracidin is a polypeptide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces fungicidus.
Enramycin is widely used as a feed additive for pigs and chickens to prevent necrotic enteritis induced by Gram-positive gut pathogens. Enramycin acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme, MurG, which is essential for cell wall biosynthesis in Gram-positive bacteria.
