Enramycin is a polypeptide antibiotic initially produced by Streptomyces fungicides; it displays antibacterial activity, inhibiting cell wall peptidoglycan formation. Enramycin is effective against most gram-positive bacteria. This compound is typically used as a feed additive for poultry, swine, and other livestock, preventing bacterial infection, accelerating growth rates, and relieving stress reactions.
