Characterization of the Cell Division-Associated Peptidoglycan Amidase AmiA of <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i>

2025-10-07

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular bacterium that differentiates between infectious, non-dividing EBs and non-infectious, dividing RBs. Pathogenic Chlamydia species are unusual in lacking a peptidoglycan sacculus, yet they do synthesize a transient and localized peptidoglycan structure at the divisome of the RB during their polarized division process. Although several studies have described the components of...
