title: Swalpamycin, a new macrolide antibiotic. I. Taxonomy of the producing organism, fermentation, isolation and biological activity.
abstract: A new macrolide antibiotic, swalpamycin, has been isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. Y-84,30967. Taxonomically the producing organism most closely resembles Streptomyces anandii and has therefore been named S. anandii subsp. swalpus. Swalpamycin is a neutral 16-membered macrolide active against Gram-positive bacteria including erythromycin-resistant strains.
