Dactylosporangium aurantiacum is a Gram-positive soil-based actinobacterium in the family Micromonosporaceae.[1] Like all Dactylosporangium species, aurantiacum is aerobic and mesophilic.[2]
One subspecies, hamdenesis, produces a number of 18-membered macrolide antibiotics called tiacumicins as a byproduct of fermentation.[3] One of these, tiacumicin B, commonly known as fidaxomicin,[4] has narrow-spectrum bacteriocidal action against Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria, including Clostridium difficile.
