New natural products as new leads for antibacterial drug discovery

Author(s): Brown DG, T Lister, TL May-Dracka

Abstract

Natural products have been a rich source of antibacterial drugs for many decades, but investments in this area have declined over the past two decades. The purpose of this review article is to provide a recent survey of new natural product classes and the mechanisms by which they work.
