Description

Virginiamycin M1 is a macrolide antibiotic which interacts with the bacterial 50S ribosome, inhibiting its function in a reversible manner.
Activity of Virginiamycin M1 at the ribosome blocks translation and produces a bacteriostatic effect.
With addition of Virginiamycin S1 the two antibiotics produce a synergistic bacteriocidal effect.
