a

 The MIC of daptomycin was determined by the use of Etest (bioMérieux) on the indicated medium.

b

The MIC of BODIPY-labeled daptomycin (BDP-DAP) was determined by broth microdilution.

c

 Cls, cardiolipin synthase.

d

LiaF, lipid II-interacting-antibiotic protein.

e

GdpD, glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodies terase.
