The LiaFSR system plays a prominent role in the development of DAP resistance (DAP-R) in enterococci, and blocking this stress response system has been proposed as a novel therapeutic strategy. In this work, we identify LiaR-independent pathways in Enterococcus faecalis that regulate cell membrane adaptation in response to ...[more]
