The bacterial pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia and related species are often multidrug resistant because their cell envelope restricts antibiotic penetration. Here, Hogan et al systematically identify genes associated with resistance and susceptibility to cell envelope-targeting antibiotics, providing insights into underlying mechanisms and suggesting avenues for development of improved antibacterial therapies.
