Abstract:	["The bacterial cell is highly organized, and the cell membrane plays an important role in the positioning of proteins in the cell. In this seminar the role of membrane curvature and membrane potential will be discussed, the homology between the bacterial cytoskeleton and the eukaryotic cortical actin cytoskeleton, and how why these studies can provide insight into the mode of action of novel antimicrobial compounds."]
