Modification and Screening of Antibiotic-producing Strains

Antibiotics play an important role in the field of medicine and healthcare, and with increasing usage, there is an urgent need to improve the quality and yield of antibiotic products to achieve cost reduction and efficiency. This has forced scientists to modify and screen antibiotic-producing strains to improve the yield and quality of antibiotic products. This paper briefly describes the strain modification methods as well as strain screening methods, discusses the limitations of each method, and looks forward to the development trend of strain modification and screening.
