Deletion of liaR Reverses Daptomycin Resistance in Enterococcus faecium Independent of the Genetic Background
15 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that changes in LiaFSR, a three-component regulatory system predicted to orchestrate the cell membrane stress response, are important mediators of daptomycin (DAP) resistance in enterococci. Indeed, deletion of the gene encoding the response regulator LiaR in a clinical strain of Enterococcus faecalis reversed DAP resistance (DAP-R) and produced a strain hypersusceptible to antimicrobial...
