Virginiamycin is a growth promoter, antibiotic, non-ionophore additive produced by a specific strain of Streptomyces virginiae, isolated in Belgium in 1954 (De Somer and Van Dijck 1955). The antimicrobial action of virginiamycin is due to a natural combination of two components, factors M and S that together are primarily active against Gram-positive bacteria.
