An Evolutionarily Conserved Mechanism for Intrinsic and Transferable Polymyxin Resistance
ABSTRACT Polymyxins, a family of cationic antimicrobial cyclic peptides, act as a last line of defense against severe infections by Gram-negative pathogens with carbapenem resistance. In addition to the intrinsic resistance to polymyxin E (colistin) conferred by Neisseria eptA, the plasmid-borne mob...
