Alternative lipid synthesis in response to phosphate limitation promotes antibiotic tolerance in Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogens.

The Gram-negative outer membrane protects bacterial cells from environmental toxins such as antibiotics. The outer membrane lipid bilayer is asymmetric; while glycerophospholipids compose the periplasmic facing leaflet, the surface layer is enriched with phosphate-containing lipopolysaccharides. The...
