aureomycin

/ˌɔɹɪəmˈaɪsɪn/ noun C1

a brand of antibiotic

Word Origin Aureomycin is an antibiotic name combining Latin aurum 'gold' and Greek mukēs 'fungus' — literally 'gold fungus.' It's named for the golden color of the Streptomyces fungus that produces it. The -in suffix is common in drug names (penicillin, streptomycin). Aurum gives us aureate (golden), auriferous (gold-bearing), and the chemical symbol Au. Mycology is the study of fungi. So aureomycin is a golden gift from a fungus.
