TEM for S. aureus ATCC 25923 treated with Pln149-PEP20 (MIC = 8 mg/L). (a) non-treated cells. Scale bar = 1 µm (b) non-treated cell in detail, with intact cell wall and membrane. Scale bar = 200 nm (c) 1 × MIC treated cells, showing cell debris and deficient cells. Scale bar = 1 µm (d) 1 × MIC treated cells in detail, showing cell debris, cell with defective division septum, and intralamellar structures. Scale bar = 200 nm (e) 4 × MIC treated cells, showing cell debris and deficient cells. Scale bar = 1 µm (f) 4 × MIC treated cells in detail, showing cell with defective division septum, intralamellar structures, and diffuse membrane. Scale bar = 200 nm.
