Table 1. The structures of polymyxin B, colistin, and the novel polymyxin derivatives that display improved efficacy in animal infection models (compounds 4-10)a,b.
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
