Zusammenfassung The spread of bacterial resistance to traditional a ntibiotics continues to stimulate the search for alternative ntimicrobial strategies. All forms of life, from bacteria to humans, are postulated to rely on a fundamental host defense mechanism, which  exploits  the  formation  of  open  pores  in  microbial  phospholipid  bilayers. Here we predict that  transmembrane poration is not necessary for antimicrobial activity and reveal a distinct poration mechanism that targets the outer leaflet of phospholipid bilayers.Using a combination of molecular-scale and real-time imaging, pectroscopy and spectrometry approaches, we introduce a structural motif with a universal insertion mode in reconstituted membranes and live bacteria. We  demonstrate  that  this motif rapidly assembles  into  monolayer  pits  that  coalesce  during  progressive membrane exfoliation, leading to bacterial cell death within minutes. The findings offer a new physical basis for designing effective antibiotics.
