Lung Surfactant & Daptomycin Illustration

A step-by-step scientific illustration of how the antibiotic daptomycin interacts with membranes, created for researchers studying why it behaves differently in the lungs.

Project overviewLung surfactant & daptomycin

Daptomycin forms pores in bacterial membranes, but lung surfactant interferes with it. The research group needed a figure that showed the mechanism in clear, numbered steps.

We illustrated each stage of the process across a lipid membrane, using colour and arrows to guide the reader from one step to the next.
