Rifampin- or Capreomycin-Induced Remodeling of the <italic toggle="yes">Mycobacterium smegmatis</italic> Mycolic Acid Layer Is Mitigated in Synergistic Combinations with Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides

ABSTRACT The mycobacterial cell wall affords natural resistance to antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) modify the surface properties of mycobacteria and can act synergistically with antibiotics from differing classes. Here, we investigate the response of Mycobacterium smegmatis to the presenc...
