Mechanism of Inhibition of Bacillus anthracis Spore Outgrowth by the Lantibiotic Nisin

[Image: see text] The lantibiotic nisin inhibits growth of vegetative Gram-positive bacteria by binding to lipid II, which disrupts cell wall biosynthesis and facilitates pore formation. Nisin also inhibits the outgrowth of bacterial spores, including spores of Bacillus anthracis, whose structural a...
