• laboratory [4]. E. terrae produced a novel antibiotic called teixobactin with no detectable resistance, as it interacts with key functions of cell wall synthesis that do not undergo fast evolutionary changes [5]. Inspired by this approach we developed the Fungal one-step IsolatioN Device (FIND), in order to
