CPP-PNA, cell-penetrating peptide conjugate of peptide nucleic acid; acpP, a gene for acyl carrier protein AcpP; bamB, a gene for outer membrane lipoprotein BamB; tolC, a gene for outer membrane efflux protein TolC; oprM, a gene for outer membrane protein OprM.

^aNo match with E. coli MG1655 genome as antisense.

^bNo match with P. aeruginosa PAO1 genome as antisense.

^cUppercase and lowercase letters indicate peptide and PNA sequences, respectively, and PNA sequences are shown from the N-terminus to the C-terminus. The O_linker portion is composed of polyethylene glycol.

^d X and B indicate 6-aminohexanoic acid and beta-alanine residues, respectively.
