Lantibiotika — hoffnungsvolle Alternative gegen Antibiotikaresistenz?

Nowadays the knowledge about the Nisin-modification system is profound and can be explored to express and modify lantibiotics with new or specific antimicrobial features. Here we highlight recent advances that include a strategy on bypassing natural occurring resistances against antimicrobial peptides.
