The RND family efflux pump FemT contributes to lipid homeostasis in Staphylococcus aureus”
The RND efflux pump FemT encoded by SAUSA300_2213 of Staphylococcus aureus USA300 is co-transcribed with femX which has an essential role in synthesizing the Lipid II precursor of peptidoglycan. Anticipating that this arrangement reflects a critical accessory role for femT, we constructed USA300ΔfemT to assess its func...
