Carrier-mediated transport as a common route of antibiotic ingress into bacteria

Abstract excerpt

Among the most significant challenges in antibacterial discovery is achieving delivery of small molecule inhibitors across the bacterial membrane(s) to reach their intracellular targets. It is considered axiomatic that the typical route for antibiotics across the cytoplasmic membrane (CM) involves diffusion directly through the lipid bilayer, though this concept has not translated into actionable information for...
