Deletion of Lytic Transglycosylases Increases Beta-Lactam Resistance in Shewanella oneidensis [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Production of chromosome-encoded β-lactamases confers resistance to β-lactams in many Gram-negative bacteria. Some inducible β-lactamases, especially the class C β-lactamase AmpC in Enterobacteriaceae, share a common regulatory mechanism, the ampR-ampC paradigm.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2025.Abstract The emergence of antimicrobial‐resistant foodborne pathogens poses a continuous health risk and economic burden as they can easily spread through contaminated food. Therefore, the demand for new antimicrobial agents to address this problem is steadily increasing.

Mycobacteriophage endolysins: diverse and modular enzymes with multiple catalytic activities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The mycobacterial cell wall presents significant challenges to mycobacteriophages--viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts--because of its unusual structure containing a mycolic acid-rich mycobacterial outer membrane attached to an arabinogalactan layer ...

The synthesis and evaluation of novel soluble lytic transglycosylase inhibitors [PDF]
Lytic transglycosylases (LTs) present an attractive target of antibiotics due to their unique function in bacterial cell growth and division. They act on peptidoglycan (PG) by creating spaces via non-hydrolytic reactions to facilitate insertion of cell-envelop spanning structures that the cell requires for PG biosynthesis and recycling.

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT The evolving threat of new pathogen variants in the face of global environmental changes poses a risk to a sustainable crop production. Predicting and responding to how climate change affects plant‐pathosystems is challenging, as environment affects host–pathogen interactions from molecular to the community level, and with eco‐evolutionary ...

Resuscitation-promoting factors possess a lysozyme-like domain [PDF]
, 2004 The novel bacterial cytokine family – resuscitation-promoting factors (Rpfs) – share a conserved domain of uncharacterized function. Predicting the structure of this domain suggests that Rpfs possess a lysozyme-like domain.

Modulation of the lytic apparatus by the FtsEX complex within the bacterial division machinery
FEBS Letters, Volume 598, Issue 23, Page 2836-2851, December 2024.Conformational changes involved in the mechano‐transmission activation of the lytic machinery by FtsEX. This model is based on the Gram‐negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, highlighting the EnvC protein that facilitates the activation of the lytic enzyme AmiB during cell division.
