Inside Cover: Efflux Pumps Might Not Be the Major Drivers of QAC Resistance in Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ChemBioChem 16/2017)

The inside cover picture shows that cell‐membrane composition might be the primary driver of bacterial resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). Our findings shed light on this daunting phenomenon with world‐wide impact as QACs are ubiquitous in household cleaners and typically serve as th...

Zusammenfassung:The inside cover picture shows that cell‐membrane composition might be the primary driver of bacterial resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). Our findings shed light on this daunting phenomenon with world‐wide impact as QACs are ubiquitous in household cleaners and typically serve as the last line of defense in home sanitation.
