The Lactococcal <i>dgkB</i> (<i>yecE</i>) and <i>dxsA</i> Genes for Lipid Metabolism Are Involved in the Resistance to Cell Envelope-Acting Antimicrobials
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria led to an urgent need for next-generation antimicrobial agents with novel mechanisms of action. The use of positively charged antimicrobial peptides that target cytoplasmic membrane is an especially promising strategy since essential functions and the c...
