    Product Description

    Phenelfamycin E is an antibiotic originally isolated from Streptomyces.1 It is active against β-hemolytic Streptoccus, S. pneumoniae, C. difficile, C. perfringens, and P. magnus Gram-positive bacteria (MICs = 0.12-1, 0.25-2, 4, 16, and 0.12 μg/ml, respectively) but not a panel of seven Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = >128 μg/ml).2 Phenelfamycin E (4-64 mg/kg) increases survival in a mouse model of lethal S. pyogenes infection in a dose-dependent manner. Dietary administration of phenelfamycin E increases body weight in chickens.
