Amycolatopsis orientalis is a Gram-positive bacterium in the phylum Actinomycetota.[1][2] It produces several substances with antimicrobial properties, including the antibiotic drug vancomycin.[3][4]

History

A. orientalis was originally discovered by Edmund Kornfeld, an organic chemist at Eli Lilly and Company, in a soil sample gathered by a missionary from forests on the island of Borneo. The antibiotic vancomycin was first isolated from the bacteria in 1953.[4][5]
