Antimicrobial sensing coupled with cell membrane remodeling mediates antibiotic resistance and virulence in <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>
9 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria have developed several evolutionary strategies to protect their cell membranes (CMs) from the attack of antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) produced by the innate immune system, including remodeling of phospholipid content and localization. Multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, an opportunistic human pathogen, evolves resistance to the lipopeptide daptomycin and AMPs by diverting the...
