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

MicrobiologyOpen, 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]

Applied 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.

Novel Phage Lysin Abp013 against Acinetobacter baumannii

Antibiotics, 2022
As antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to pose an ever-growing global health threat, propelling us into a post-antibiotic era, novel alternative therapeutic agents are urgently required. Lysins are bacteriophage-encoded peptidoglycan hydrolases that

Lytic activity of the virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolase HydH5 of bacteriophage vB_SauS-phiIPLA88 [PDF]

, 2011
Background Staphylococcus aureus is a food-borne pathogen and the most common cause of infections in hospitalized patients. The increase in the resistance of this pathogen to antibacterials has made necessary the development of

The Dual Role of Methyl Caffeate: Growth Inhibition of Pseudomonas syringae and Induction of Resistance to Bacterial Speck Disease in Tomato

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Methyl caffeate exhibits dual functionality against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. It directly disrupts bacterial membrane integrity, induces reactive oxygen species accumulation, and inhibits flagellar motility and the type III secretion system. Concurrently, it primes plant defence by activating defence‐related gene expression and enzyme activities,

Bacterial autolysins trim cell surface peptidoglycan to prevent detection by the Drosophila innate immune system

eLife, 2014
Bacteria have to avoid recognition by the host immune system in order to establish a successful infection. Peptidoglycan, the principal constituent of virtually all bacterial surfaces, is a specific molecular signature recognized by dedicated host ...

Identification of the chain-dispersing peptidoglycan hydrolase LytB of Streptococcus gordonii. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Bacterial cell division ends with the separation of the daughter cells, a process that requires peptidoglycan hydrolases (PGHs). Bacteria lacking cell separating PGHs are impaired in cell separation with the formation of long chains or clusters.

Biological Degradation of Phthalates: From Bioremediation to Plastic Waste Valorization

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
Phthalic acid isomers play a key role in the plastics industry, but pose significant environmental and health concerns. This review explores the microbial biodegradation of phthalates and their esters, focusing on bacterial enzymes, catabolic pathways, and cellular uptake mechanisms of phthalates.

Determining bacteriophage endopeptidase activity using either fluorophore-quencher labeled peptides combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) or Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The necessity of identifying novel methods to combat infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria is increasing each year. Recent advancements in the development of peptidoglycan hydrolases (e.g. lysins) from bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) have
