Gram-negative bacteria resist antimicrobial agents by a DzrR-mediated envelope stress response

BMC Biology, 2023
Background Envelope stress responses (ESRs) are critical for adaptive resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to envelope-targeting antimicrobial agents. However, ESRs are poorly defined in a large number of well-known plant and human pathogens.
