Enduracidin is primarily used as an antibiotic in agricultural and veterinary applications. It is effective against a range of Gram-positive bacteria, making it useful as a feed additive in livestock production to promote growth and prevent bacterial infections. Due to its mechanism of action involving inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis, it helps control pathogens in animal husbandry without significant impact on Gram-negative organisms. Its use is limited in human medicine due to toxicity concerns, but it remains valuable in non-clinical settings for microbial control.
