The antibiotic teixobactin targets bacterial cell walls. Previous research has proposed that the active form of teixobactin is a nano-/micron-sized supramolecular assembly. Here, we use cryogenic transmission electron microscopy to show that at 1 mg/mL, teixobactin forms sheet-like assemblies that selectively act upon the cell wall. At 4 μg/mL, teixobactin is active, and aggregates are formed either transiently or sparingly at the cell surface.
抗生素替考拉宁靶向细菌细胞壁。先前的研究提出，替考拉宁的活性形式是纳米/微米级的超分子聚集体。在此，我们使用低温透射电子显微镜表明，在1毫克/毫升的浓度下，替考拉宁形成片状聚集体，选择性地作用于细胞壁。在4微克/毫升的浓度下，替考拉宁具有活性，并且在细胞表面短暂或少量地形成聚集体。
