Here, we present a natural product discovery approach whereby structures are bioinformatically predicted from primary sequence and produced by chemical synthesis (synthetic-bioinformatic natural products, syn-BNPs), circumventing the need for bacterial culture and gene expression. When applied to nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters from human-associated bacteria we identified the humimycins. These antibiotics inhibit lipid II flippase and potentiate ?-lactam activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in mice, potentially providing a new treatment regimen.
