A moonlighting role for LysM peptidoglycan binding domains underpins Enterococcus faecalis daughter cell separation

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Control of cell size and morphology is of paramount importance for bacterial fitness. In the opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis, the formation of diplococci and short cell chains facilitates innate immune evasion and dissemination in the host ...

Contribution of sortase A to the regulation of Listeria monocytogenes LPXTG surface proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Listeria contain many surface proteins covalently bound to the peptidoglycan. In the pathogenic species Listeria monocytogenes, some of these surface proteins mediate adhesion and entry into host cells.

Comprehensive and Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of the Cell Wall Stress Response in Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Transcriptional profiling of the primary cell envelope stress response (CESR) of Bacillus subtilis exposed to a range of cell wall‐targeting antimicrobials, combining RNAseq and high‐resolution tiling arrays. We revealed the complexity of the CESR, the contribution of extracytoplasmic function sigma factors (ECFs) and two‐component signal transduction ...

Reassessing the substrate specificities of the major Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan hydrolases lysostaphin and LytM

open access: yeseLife
Orchestrated action of peptidoglycan (PG) synthetases and hydrolases is vital for bacterial growth and viability. Although the function of several PG synthetases and hydrolases is well understood, the function, regulation, and mechanism of action of PG ...

Interactions between Bacteria and Bile Salts in the Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Tracts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Bile salts and bacteria have intricate relationships. The composition of the intestinal pool of bile salts is shaped by bacterial metabolism. In turn, bile salts play a role in intestinal homeostasis by controlling the size and the composition of the ...

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Identification of Mur, an Atypical Peptidoglycan Hydrolase Derived fromLeuconostoc citreum [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2001
ABSTRACTA gene encoding a protein homologous to known bacterialN-acetyl-muramidases has been cloned fromLeuconostoc citreumby a PCR-based approach. The encoded protein, Mur, consists of 209 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 23,821 Da including a 31-amino-acid putative signal peptide.

Phage therapy: An alternative to antibiotics in the age of multi-drug resistance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The practice of phage therapy, which uses bacterial viruses (phages) to treat bacterial infections, has been around for almost a century. The universal decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics has generated renewed interest in revisiting this practice.
