Depleting Cationic Lipids Involved in Antimicrobial Resistance Drives Adaptive Lipid Remodeling in Enterococcus faecalis
ABSTRACT The bacterial cell membrane is an interface for cell envelope synthesis, protein secretion, virulence factor assembly, and a target for host cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). To resist CAMP killing, several Gram-positive pathogens encode the multiple peptide resistance factor (MprF)...
