Abstract
Kalafungin is a new antimicrobial agent obtained from the culture broth of a soil isolate of Streptomyces tanashiensis, designated Streptomyces tanashiensis strain Kala UC-5063. Kalafungin is a chemically stable, nonpolyene agent which is ex-extremely inhibitory in vitro against a variety of pathogenic fungi, yeasts, protozoa, gram-positive bacteria, and, to a lesser extent, gram-negative bacteria.
