Chemical Probes Reveal an Extraseptal Mode of Cross-Linking in Staphylococcus aureus
2 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen and a model organism for studying cell wall synthesis in Gram-positive cocci. The prevailing model of cell wall biogenesis in cocci holds that peptidoglycan synthesis (i.e., transglycosylation and cross-linking) is restricted spatially to the septal cross-wall and temporally to cell division. Previously, we developed a method for visualizing cross-linking in S....
