Pseudomonas aeruginosa adapts to octenidine via a combination of efflux and membrane remodelling

Bock et al. characterise the adaptation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to the antiseptic octenidine, using whole genome sequencing, gene expression studies and metabolomics. They attribute this increased tolerance to synergistic changes in efflux and plasma membrane composition via mutations in SmvR, the...
