E. coli mutants were selected on 0.5 μg/ml LYS228, and K. pneumoniae mutants were selected on 0.25 μg/ml LYS228. An asterisk indicates mutation identified by whole-genome sequencing. Two asterisks indicate this was the only mutation identified in this mutant by genome sequencing. All mutations were confirmed by PCR and sequencing.
