Obafluorin is a β-lactone antibiotic that has been found in P. fluorescens. It is active against S. aureus, S. faecalis, K. pneumoniae, and P. vulgaris (MIC = 125 μg/ml for all).

Obafluorin is a β-Lactone Antibiotic, that can be produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 39502. Obafluorin exhibits antibacterial activity against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Obafluorin fully inhibits E. coli threonyl-tRNA synthetase[1].
