Distribution of D-Ala in peptidoglycan of the drug-treated whole cells of E. faecium (mid-exponential growth) of Figures 3 and 7.

	D-Ala-D-Asp [%]	D-Ala-D-Ala [%]	D-Ala [%]
No vancomycin*	76	24	0
15 μg/ml vancomycin	48	47	5
25 μg/ml vancomycin	45	48	7
No oritavancin	76	24	0
15 μg/ml oritavancin	83	17	0
25 μg/ml oritavancin	89	11	0

^*On the basis of three different growths, the relative concentrations are ±1 of those shown (e.g., 76 ±1%).
