The AmiC/NlpD pathway dominates peptidoglycan breakdown in <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> and affects cell separation, NOD1 agonist production, and infection

2021-09-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The human-restricted pathogen Neisseria meningitidis , which is best known for causing invasive meningococcal disease, has a nonpathogenic lifestyle as an asymptomatic colonizer of the human naso- and oropharyngeal space. N. meningitidis releases small peptidoglycan (PG) fragments during growth. It was demonstrated previously that N. meningitidis releases low levels of tripeptide PG monomer,...
