The effects of daptomycin on cell wall biosynthesis in Enterococcal faecalis
Daptomycin is a cyclic lipodepsipeptide antibiotic reserved for the treatment of serious infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens....
-
Coordinated peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases stabilize the bacterial cell wall
Peptidoglycan (PG) defines cell shape and protects bacteria against osmotic stress. The growth and integrity of PG require coordinated actions...
-
On the mechanisms of lysis triggered by perturbations of bacterial cell wall biosynthesis
Inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis by antibiotics such as β-lactams is thought to cause explosive lysis through loss of cell wall integrity....

Radical cation scavenging activity of berberine bridge enzyme-like oligosaccharide oxidases acting on short cell wall fragments
Oligogalacturonide-oxidases (OGOXs) and cellodextrin-oxidase (CELLOX) are plant berberine bridge enzyme-like oligosaccharide-oxidases (OSOXs) that...
-
Allosteric activation of cell wall synthesis during bacterial growth
The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall protects bacteria against osmotic lysis and determines cell shape, making this structure a key antibiotic target....
