2.3.2.17	additional information	the lysostaphin immunity factor Lif is not able to complement lack of FemA by inserting serine for glycine in the side chain. Methicillin resistance, which depends on functional FemA and FemB, is neither complemented by Lif	Staphylococcus aureus
2.3.2.18	additional information	the lysostaphin immunity factor Lif is able to complement lack of FemB by inserting serine for glycine in the side chain. Methicillin resistance, which depends on functional FemA and FemB, is not complemented by Lif suggesting that serine-substituted side-chains are a lesser substrate for penicillin-binding protein PBP2' in methicillin resistance	Staphylococcus aureus
