Peptidoglycan compositional analysis of Mycobacterium smegmatis using high-resolution LC–MS
30 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Peptidoglycan (PG) is the exoskeleton of bacterial cells and is required for their viability, growth, and cell division. Unlike most bacteria, mycobacteria possess an atypical PG characterized by a high degree of unique linkages and chemical modifications which most likely serve as important determinants of virulence and pathogenesis in mycobacterial diseases. Despite this important role, the chemical composition...
