Novel macrocyclic peptide speirobactin selectively kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis, suggesting DNA gyrase as the primary target.

Speirobactin effectively targets DNA gyrase, leading to the death of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Genomic analysis reveals speirobactin-resistant mutants, highlighting DNA gyrase as the sole target.
Transcriptome analysis supports speirobactin's action aligns with fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
Identification of a resistance gene within the biosynthetic operon underscores the complexity of antibiotic resistance.

Liang et al. (2025) studied this question.
