Peptidoglycan synthesis in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> is organized into networks with varying drug susceptibility
5 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
Peptidoglycan (PG), a complex polymer composed of saccharide chains cross-linked by short peptides, is a critical component of the bacterial cell wall. PG synthesis has been extensively studied in model organisms but remains poorly understood in mycobacteria, a genus that includes the important human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The principle PG synthetic enzymes have similar and, at times,...
