Toxin release mediated by the novel autolysin Cwp19 in Clostridium difficile

Microbial Cell, 2018
Clostridium difficile, also known as Clostriodioides difficile, is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium and a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in nosocomial environments. The key virulence factors of this pathogen are two toxins, toxin

Staphylococcus aureus cell growth and division are regulated by an amidase that trims peptides from uncrosslinked peptidoglycan

Nature Microbiology, 2019
Bacteria are protected by a polymer of peptidoglycan that serves as an exoskeleton1. In Staphylococcus aureus, the peptidoglycan assembly enzymes relocate during the cell cycle from the periphery, where they are active during growth, to the division site

Rubrolides A, D, P, T, U: Total Syntheses and Antibacterial Evaluation of Highly Brominated Marine Natural Products

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Following the Danube Flow. The first total syntheses of highly brominated rubrolides T, U, and U‐analog, together with the efficient and divergent syntheses of rubrolides A, D, and P. The dibrominated key intermediate, obtained via a Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction, is the centerpiece of the synthesis.

Peptidoglycan O-Acetylation as a Virulence Factor: Its Effect on Lysozyme in the Innate Immune System

Antibiotics, 2019
The peptidoglycan sacculus of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria acts as a protective mesh and provides structural support around the entirety of the cell.

Lueyang Black‐Boned Chicken and Black Bean Soup Promoting the Acute Healing of Skin Wounds, Accompanying Special Flavor Substances

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal protein and plant protein make the protein supplement more comprehensive and further optimize the nutritional structure of the national diet. In this study, a “dual protein” Lueyang black‐boned chicken and black bean soup (FS) was prepared.

Comparative Analysis of Peptidoglycans From Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Recovered From Chronic and Acute Infections

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the first causes of acute nosocomial and chronic infections in patients with underlying respiratory pathologies such as cystic fibrosis (CF). It has been proposed that P.

Metabolic labelling of the carbohydrate core in bacterial peptidoglycan and its applications

Nature Communications, 2017
Bacterial cells are surrounded by a polymer known as peptidoglycan (PG), which protects the cell from changes in osmotic pressure and small molecule insults.

Effect of Using Nisin and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid on the Bacterial Load, Deterioration Criteria, and Sensory Attributes of Chilled Chicken Cuts

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Evaluation of the efficacy of selected dipping solutions on fresh chicken meat shelf life. Samples treated with nisin and EDTA combinations, followed by chilled storage. The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed through bacteriological, sensory, and physicochemical (pH) deterioration criteria.

Reduced peptidoglycan synthesis capacity impairs growth of E. coli at high salt concentration

mBio
Gram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer between the cytoplasmic and outer membranes protecting the cell from osmotic challenges. Hydrolases of this structure are needed to cleave bonds to allow the newly synthesized peptidoglycan strands ...
