The
A. baumannii strain (CECT 452; ATCC 19606) and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains (CECT 4122; ATCC 15692) are from the Spanish Type Culture Collection (CECT). The
Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) strain and the pET11c plasmid are from Novagen. MRC-5 and HepG2 cells are from the American Type Cell Culture Collection (ATCCC).
Mueller–Hinton broth, LPS and RNase A (Type XII) are from Sigma-Aldrich. 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and colistin are from Apollo Scientific. 1-aminonaphthalene-3,6,8-trisulfonate (ANTS), α,α′-dipyridinium p-xylene dibromide (DPX) and the fluorescent probe BODIPY TR cadaverine are from Molecular Probes. Toludine blue is from Merck. RNase 3/1 gene was purchased from NZYTech. 1,2-dioleoyl-
sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-
sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol (DOPG) were from Avanti Polar Lipids.
E. coli lipid extract was obtained as described (Folch et al., 1957 (
