Correction to: Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06799-7 Published online 3 January 2024

In the version of the article initially published, three references were missing and have now been added as refs. 7–9: Srinivas, N. et al. Peptidomimetic antibiotics target outer-membrane biogenesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Science 327, 1010–1013 (2010); Vetterli, S. U. et al. Thanatin targets the intermembrane protein complex required for lipopolysaccharide transport in Escherichia coli. Sci. Adv. 4, eaau2634 (2018) and Moura, E. C. C. M. et al. Thanatin impairs lipopolysaccharide transport complex assembly by targeting LptC–LptA interaction and decreasing LptA stability. Front. Microbiol., 11, 909 (2020). Additionally, in Fig. 1, “R1” and “R2” appeared as “R1” and “R2” and in the Fig. 1 caption, the descriptions of panels b and c were swapped. These corrections have now been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
