eLife Assessment: Genome-wide synthetic-lethality screen of Bam complex associated genes in Escherichia coli

Biogenesis of the bacterial outer membrane is key to bacterial survival and antibiotic resistance. Central to this is the β-barrel assembly machine (Bam) complex and its associated chaperones, which are responsible for transport, folding and insertion of outer membrane proteins (OMPs). The Escherichia coli Bam complex...
