Antibiotic susceptibilities of E. coli expressing recombinant tlyA orthologs. Each MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) represents a minimum of three measurements, and the values were consistently the same under the conditions used.

E. coli with plasmid-encoded tlyA orthologs	MIC (μg ml⁻¹)
E. coli with plasmid-encoded tlyA orthologs	capreomycin	viomycin
Empty plasmid, no tlyA	128	128
T. thermophilus tlyA^I	32	32
S. hyodysenteriae tlyA^I	32	32
M. smegmatis tlyA^II	32	16
S. coelicolor tlyA^II	64	64
G. stearothermophilus tlyA^II	64	32
