Mechanism of carbapenem resistance among bacteria belonging to Enterobacteriaceae family. Proposed mechanism of action which involves selective association with microbial membranes, mediated by ion pairing of positively charged CSAs with negatively charged microbial membranes (A). The pleiotropic activity of CSA-13, CSA-44, and CSA-131 (B). The figure was prepared using BioRender.
