Catching up with the bugs : Lysobactin ( 1 ) is a natural cyclodepsipeptide with potent antibiotic activity against vancomycin‐resistant enterococci and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Two total syntheses of 1 have been published recently which should enable further chemical modifications of the lysobactin structure and a better understanding of its mode of action.
