Striatins ( A, B and C ) have antibiotic activity against fungi imperfecti, and various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria . " C . striatus " also produces sesquiterpene compounds called schizandronols.

Cilastatin itself does not have antibiotic activity although it has been proved to be active against a zinc-dependent beta-lactamase that usually confer antibiotic resistance to certain bacteria; more precisely the carbapenem family of antibiotics.

The antibiotic activity of benzoin resin seems mostly due to its abundant benzoic acid and benzoic acid esters, which were named after the resin; other less well known secondary compounds such as lignans like pinoresinol are likely significant too.

Nelfinavir and these related molecules did not exhibit detectable antibiotic activity, but did also inhibit the production of other biologically active molecules, including plantazolicin ( antibiotic ), listeriolysin S ( cytolysin ), and clostridiolysin S ( cytolysin ), by other bacteria.
25.
Berberine alone has weak antibiotic activity " in vitro " since many microorganisms actively export it from the cell ( although a whole herb is likely to work on the immune system as well as on attacking the microbes and hence have a stronger clinical effect than the antibiotic activity alone would suggest ).
