    • Polymyxins are last-resort antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant pathogens. They interact with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in bacterial membranes, but mechanistic details at the molecular level remain unclear. Here, we characterize the interaction of polymyxins with native, LPS-containing outer membrane patches of Escherichia coli by high-resolution atomic force microscopy imaging, along with structural and biochemical assays. We find that polymyxins arrange LPS into hexagonal assemblies to form crystalline structures. Formation of the crystalline structures is correlated with the antibiotic activity, and absent in polymyxin-resistant strains. Crystal lattice parameters alter with variations of the LPS and polymyxin molecules. Quantitative measurements show that the crystalline structures decrease membrane thickness and increase membrane area as well as stiffness. Together, these findings suggest the formation of rigid LPS-polymyxin crystals and subsequent membrane disruption as the mechanism of polymyxin action and provide a benchmark for optimization and de novo design of LPS-targeting antimicrobials. Manioglu et al use high-resolution atomic force microscopy to resolve how polymyxins interact with the bacterial membrane. Polymyxins arrange the bacterial lipids into regular hexagonal structures that stiffen the membrane and lead to rupture.
