The DUF998 family protein DrmA modulates cationic glycolipid levels and the emergence of high-level daptomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecalis

Aparna Uppuluri, Jonathan Martin, Luke R. Joyce…·Kelli L. Palmer

This study identifies DrmA, a DUF998 family protein, as a regulator of cationic glycolipid levels and a contributor to high-level daptomycin resistance in E. faecalis.
