Environment Shapes the Accessible Daptomycin Resistance Mechanisms in <i>Enterococcus faecium</i>
2019-04-12
Abstract excerpt
Daptomycin binds to bacterial cell membranes and disrupts essential cell envelope processes leading to cell death. Bacteria respond to daptomycin by altering their cell envelopes to either decrease antibiotic binding to the membrane or by diverting binding away from vulnerable septal targets to remodeled anionic phospholipid membrane patches. In Enterococcus faecalis , daptomycin resistance is typically coordinat...
