Gram-negative bacteria have become resistant to several antibiotics that target their membrane, including colistin and β-lactams, increasing the urgency of identifying alternative treatment options.

The protein, called OmpA, is found in the outer cell membranes of many species of Gram-negative bacteria, which are responsible for a number of bacterial infections that affect humans, animals and ...

Periplasmic expression and cytometric screening (PECS), as it has been termed, is a marriage of the concepts behind synthetic cellular compartments and bacterial display.

The accessory components BamB–BamE and the POTRAs of BamA form a ring at the base of the complex in the periplasmic space between the ... Late stages of assembly of a bacterial β-barrel protein.
