Comment: Virginiamycin S1 is a streptogramin antibacterial produced by a Streptomyces sp. related to S. virginiae [5]. It is isolated as part of a virginiamycin complex containing M components (M1 and M2) and S components (S1-S4)(reviewed in [1]). Virginiamycin S1 and pristinamycin IIA (virginiamycin M1) are the major components of virginiamycin [2], an antibacterial used in veterinary medicine and also in animal husbandry as a growth promoter.
