Structural and kinetic analysis of the monofunctional Staphylococcus aureus PBP1
26 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus, an ESKAPE pathogen, is a major clinical concern due to its pathogenicity and manifold antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. The commonly used β-lactam antibiotics target bacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and inhibit crosslinking of peptidoglycan strands that comprise the bacterial cell wall mesh, initiating a cascade of effects leading to bacterial cell death. S. aureus PBP1 is...
