Staphylococcus aureus Cell Wall Biosynthesis Modulates Bone Invasion and Osteomyelitis Pathogenesis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Staphylococcus aureus invasion of the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network (OLCN) is a novel mechanism of bacterial persistence and immune evasion in chronic osteomyelitis. Previous work highlighted S.

Contribution of autolysin to virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1989 Insertion-duplication mutagenesis was used to construct an autolysin-negative derivative of Streptococcus pneumoniae. This derivative was obtained by first transforming the nonencapsulated strain Rx1 with a derivative of the vector pVA891 carrying a 375-base-pair TaqI DNA fragment from the middle of the autolysin structural gene. DNA was extracted from

Building blocks and blueprints for bacterial autolysins
PLOS Computational Biology, 2021 Bacteria utilize a wide variety of endogenous cell wall hydrolases, or autolysins, to remodel their cell walls during processes including cell division, biofilm formation, and programmed death. We here systematically investigate the composition of these enzymes in order to gain insights into their associated biological processes, potential ways to ...
