Abstract
The present invention relates to novel stemphones having enhancing effect of β-lactam antibiotic used as an antibacterial agent, and a process for production thereof. The process is comprised of culturing microorganism belonging to genusand having ability to produce stemphones, the microorganism of which issp. FKI-2136 NITE BP-83, accumulating the stemphones in the cultured mass, and isolating the stemphones from the cultured mass. Since the obtained stemphones have an action enhancing activity of β-lactam antibiotic used as an antibacterial agent by combining with β-lactam antibiotic, the stemphones are expected to be useful as the therapeutic agent for MRSA infection and infectious diseases caused by multi-drug resistant microorganisms including β-lactam antibiotic resistance.
