Functional analysis of the Escherichia coli mrdA gene in melittin resistance
This study is the first to elucidate the role of peptidoglycan in the cell wall of <i>E. coli</i> in the context of antimicrobial peptide resistance. Novel ideas have been proposed for the development of antibacterial drugs targeting the peptidoglycan of Gram-negative bacteria.
