Mutations in ampG or ampD affect peptidoglycan fragment release from Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 2008

Garcia Daniel L, Dillard Joseph P

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae releases peptidoglycan fragments during growth. The majority of the fragments released are peptidoglycan monomers, molecules known to increase pathogenesis through the induction of proinflammatory cytokines and responsible for the killing of ciliated epithelial cells. In other gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, these peptidoglycan fragments are efficiently degraded and...
