The Two Functional Enoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Reductases of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Enterococcus faecalis</named-content> Do Not Mediate Triclosan Resistance

ABSTRACT Enoyl-acyl carrier protein (enoyl-ACP) reductase catalyzes the last step of the elongation cycle in the synthesis of bacterial fatty acids. The Enterococcus faecalis genome contains two genes annotated as enoyl-ACP reductases, a FabI-type enoyl-ACP reductase and a FabK-type enoyl-ACP reduct...
