A physicochemical and biophysical investigation into the role of lysyl- phosphatidylglycerol in the membrane of Staphylococcus aureus under mild acidic conditions

Background: Staphylococcus aureus readily colonises human epithelia despite the presence of innate defences including mild acidity and cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). Reduced sensitivity of S. aureus to these defences appears partly due to the increased biosynthesis of lysyl-phosphatidylgly...
