Common NameKleboxymycin
DescriptionKleboxymycin is a tricyclic polyketide antibiotic belonging to the chemical class of polyketides. Its chemical structure features a complex arrangement that contributes to its potent cytotoxic properties, as evidenced by its higher cytotoxicity compared to tilivalline in TC50 cell culture assays (PMID:28972161 ). Kleboxymycin is synthesized via a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) that is prevalent among various strains of the Klebsiella oxytoca complex, with genomic analyses revealing that 34.7% of isolates carry kleboxymycin gene clusters (KGC) (PMID:40246208 ). The detection of the kleboxymycin BGC across multiple Klebsiella genome sequences indicates its widespread occurrence, with 88 out of 7170 genomes encoding this cluster (PMID:34142942 ). Moreover, whole-genome sequencing has shown that strains containing the kleboxymycin BGC possess additional virulence factors, suggesting their potential as human pathogens (PMID:32126585 ). The biosynthetic pathways for kleboxymycin and tilivalline appear to overlap, indicating a relationship between these compounds (PMID:28972161 ). Overall, kleboxymycin's intricate chemical structure and its involvement in antimicrobial resistance highlight its significance in clinical microbiology (PMID:40804599 ).
