unlike most antibiotics. On one hand, they bind to membrane lipids, destabilizing the bacterial membrane. Additionally, they inhibit two enzymes involved in cell wall and protein synthesis.

Scientists say they have developed a new type of antibiotic ... membrane, where they’re needed to maintain the membrane’s integrity. This causes the molecules to accumulate inside the ...
