The Effect of NAG–thiazoline on Morphology and Surface Hydrophobicity of Escherichia Coli [PDF]
, 2004 The β-hexosaminidase inhibitor and structural analog of the putative oxazolium reaction intermediate of lytic transglycosylases, N-acetylglucosamine thiazoline (NAG–thiazoline), was synthesized in 46% overall yield and tested as an inhibitor of ...

mBio, 2015 Most bacterial cells are enclosed in a single macromolecule of the cell wall polymer, peptidoglycan, which is required for shape determination and maintenance of viability, while peptidoglycan biosynthesis is an important antibiotic target.

Staphylococcal peptidoglycans induce arthritis [PDF]
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2001 Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important pathogens in septic arthritis. To analyse the arthritogenic properties of staphylococcal peptidoglycan (PGN), highly purified PGN from S. aureus was intra-articularly injected into murine joints. The results demonstrate that PGN will trigger arthritis in a dose-dependent manner.

Toll-like receptor stimulation induces higher TNF-alpha secretion in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with hyper IgE syndrome [PDF]
, 2008 Hyper IgE syndromes (HIES) are primary immunodeficiency disorders of unknown pathogenesis. Patients are typically affected with `cold' abscesses of the skin, recurrent cyst-forming pneumonia, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and other less frequent ...

Complement consumption gonococcal peptidoglycan [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1982 Purified peptidoglycan (PG) obtained from Neisseria gonorrhoeae was tested for the ability to consume complement in normal human sera. Sonicated PG (S-PG), a heterogeneous mixture of soluble fragments (molecular weight, greater than 10(6)), as well as intact (insoluble) PG, reduced the level of whole hemolytic complement in a pool of four human sera ...

BMC Genomics, 2005 Background The metabolism of bacterial peptidoglycan is a dynamic process, synthases and cleavage enzymes are functionally coordinated. Lytic Transglycosylase enzymes (LT) are part of multienzyme complexes which regulate bacterial division and elongation.

Membrane-partitioned cell wall synthesis in mycobacteria
eLife, 2021 Many antibiotics target the assembly of cell wall peptidoglycan, an essential, heteropolymeric mesh that encases most bacteria. In rod-shaped bacteria, cell wall elongation is spatially precise yet relies on limited pools of lipid-linked precursors that ...

Mastitomics, the integrated omics of bovine milk in an experimental model of Streptococcus uberis mastitis: 2. Label-free relative quantitative proteomics [PDF]
, 2016 Mastitis, inflammation of the mammary gland, is the most common and costly disease of dairy cattle in the western world. It is primarily caused by bacteria, with Streptococcus uberis as one of the most prevalent causative agents.

Peptidoglycan Composition in Neisseria [PDF]
, 2019 The composition of Neisseria peptidoglycan has been of scientific interest for over four decades. Initial investigations focused on discovering the mechanisms causing rising rates of antibiotic resistance in N. gonorrhoeae by determining differences in peptidoglycan composition in penicillin susceptible and resistant strains.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
