Comment: ω-Hydroxyemodin is a polyhydroxyanthraquinone isolated from Penicillium restrictum. It has been investigated as an alternative or adjunctive to conventional antibacterials in the treatment of antibacterial-resistant infections, including invasive skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) caused by Staphylococcus aureus [1].
