Anthracimycin is a polyketide antibiotic discovered in 2013. Anthracimycin is derived from marine actinobacteria. In preliminary laboratory research, it has shown activity against Bacillus anthracis,^[1] the bacteria that causes anthrax, and against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).^[2]
