To withstand their internal turgor pressure and external threats, most bacteria have a
protective peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall. The growth of this PG polymer relies on autolysins …

The peptidoglycan manifests as a multifaceted component of the bacterial cell wall.
Throughout the lifecycle of the bacterium, the peptidoglycan is deconstructed, rebuilt, and …

The bacterial cell wall, a sophisticated and dynamic structure predominantly composed of
peptidoglycan (PG), plays a pivotal role in bacterial survival and adaptation. Bacteria …

Peptidoglycan (PG), a mesh-like structure which is the primary component of the bacterial
cell wall, is crucial to maintain cell integrity and shape. While most bacteria rely on penicillin …

Coxiella burnetii and Legionella pneumophila are two phylogenetically related bacterial
pathogens that exhibit extreme intrinsic resistance when they enter into a dormancy-like …

Gram-negative bacteria possess a multilayered envelope comprising an inner membrane
(IM), a thin peptidoglycan (PG) layer, and an outer membrane (OM). In Escherichia coli and …

The bacterial cell envelope is a complex and dynamic structure with essential functions in
fitness and adaptation. In Gram-negative bacteria, the envelope is composed of an inner …
