Functional profiling of CHAP domain-containing peptidoglycan hydrolases of Staphylococcus aureus USA300 uncovers potential targets for anti-staphylococcal therapies
8 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
The bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus employs a thick cell wall for protection against physical and chemical insults. This wall requires continuous maintenance to ensure strength and barrier integrity, but also to permit bacterial growth and division. The main cell wall component is peptidoglycan. Accordingly, the bacteria produce so-called peptidoglycan hydrolases (PGHs) that cleave glycan strands to...
