A Specialized Peptidoglycan Synthase Promotes
Bacterial cell division has been studied extensively under laboratory conditions. Despite being a key event in the bacterial cell cycle, cell division has not been explored in vivo in bacterial pathogens interacting with their hosts.

Characterization of Escherichia coli NDM isolates with decreased susceptibility to aztreonam/avibactam: role of a novel insertion in PBP3 [PDF]
Abstract Objectives The spread of NDM-1 amongst Enterobacteriaceae has highlighted a significant threat to the clinical management of serious infections. The combination of aztreonam and avibactam, a non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor, may provide a much-needed therapeutic alternative.

Objectives: While aztreonam-avibactam is a potent β-lactam-β-lactamase-inhibitor combination, reduced in vitro activity against some Enterobacterales isolates has been reported. In this study, globally collected clinical isolates of Enterobacterales with

Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential constituent of the bacterial cell wall. During cell division, PG synthesis localizes at midcell under the control of a multiprotein complex, the divisome, allowing the safe formation of two new cell poles and separation

Localization of FtsI (PBP3) to the Septal Ring Requires Its Membrane Anchor, the Z Ring, FtsA, FtsQ, and FtsL [PDF]
ABSTRACT Assembly of the division septum in bacteria is mediated by several proteins that localize to the division site. One of these, FtsI (also called penicillin-binding protein 3) of Escherichia coli , consists of a short cytoplasmic domain, a single membrane-spanning segment, and a large periplasmic ...

Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) disease has decreased in countries that included Hi type b (Hib) vaccination in their childhood immunization programs in the 1990s. Non-typeable (NT) and non-b strains are now the leading causes of invasive Hi disease

Neisseria gonorrhoeae PBP3 and PBP4 Facilitate NOD1 Agonist Peptidoglycan Fragment Release and Survival in Stationary Phase [PDF]
Neisseria gonorrhoeae releases peptidoglycan fragments during growth, and these molecules induce an inflammatory response in the human host. The proinflammatory molecules include peptidoglycan monomers, peptidoglycan dimers, and free peptides.
