The emergence of antibiotic‐resistant microorganisms urges the development of novel antimicrobials that are effective against new targets and with low rates of resistance appearance. The combined use of modern multidisciplinary approaches including synthetic biology, genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and computational tools are enabling progress in this re‐emerging research field.
