Abstract

The genetic bases for antibiotic tolerance are obscure. Daptomycin (DAP) is a lipopeptide antibiotic with bactericidal activity against enterococci. Using time-kill assays, we provide evidence for the first time that a deletion of isoleucine in position 177 of LiaF, a member of the three-component regulatory system LiaFSR involved in the cell envelope response to antimicrobials, is directly responsible for a DAP-tolerant phenotype and is likely to negatively affect response to DAP therapy.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A single deletion of an isoleucine at position 177 of LiaF increased the DAP MIC from 1 to 4 μg/mL and was sufficient to abolish the bactericidal activity of DAP.

    “Indeed, a single deletion of an isoleucine at position 177 of LiaF increased the DAP MIC from 1 to 4 μg/mL (established clinical breakpoint is 4 μg/ml) and, more importantly, was sufficient to abolish the bactericidal activity of DAP (89).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
