Biofilm formation plays a critical role in antimicrobial resistance in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>. Here, we investigated the potential of crude extracts of 79 Micronesian marine microorganisms to inhibit <i>S. aureus</i> biofilm formation. An extract of <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. MC025 inhibited <i>S. aureus</i> biofilm formation. Bioactivity-guided isolation led to the isolation of a series of 2,2'-bipyridines: collismycin B (<b>1</b>), collismycin C (<b>2</b>), SF2738 D (<b>3</b>), SF2738 F (<b ...[more]
