Background Saccharopolyspora erythraea (Strain ATCC 11635 / DSM 40517 / NRRL 2338) is an obligate aerobic bacterium phylogenetically associated with the Actinobacteria. This soil bacterium produces the industrially important antibiotic erythromycin A. The genome of S. erythraea is apparently circular rather than linear. This is the white, less-pigmented form, which produced substantially more erythromycin than the red form. Erythromycin is a clinically important and potent macrolide antibiotic. It is used to treat infections caused by several prokaryotic pathogens such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Chlamydia and Legionella. Production of this antibiotic is lower than others in the same class, such as penicillin or cephalosporin, which has led to the development of a genetic system to attempt to enhance the production of erythromycin.
