J Bacteriol
. 2025 Jan;
207(2):e0046224.
PMID: 39846752
Mobile genetic elements help drive horizontal gene transfer and bacterial evolution. Conjugative elements and temperate bacteriophages can be stably maintained in host cells. They can alter host physiology and regulatory...

J Bacteriol
. 2023 Feb;
205(3):e0043322.
PMID: 36794934
Most bacteria have cell wall peptidoglycan surrounding their plasma membranes. The essential cell wall provides a scaffold for the envelope, protection against turgor pressure and is a proven drug target....

Melzer E, Kado T, Garcia-Heredia A, Gupta K, Meniche X, Morita Y, et al.
J Bacteriol
. 2022 May;
204(6):e0054021.
PMID: 35543537
Cell wall peptidoglycan is a heteropolymeric mesh that protects the bacterium from internal turgor and external insults. In many rod-shaped bacteria, peptidoglycan synthesis for normal growth is achieved by two...

PLoS One
. 2021 May;
16(5):e0251096.
PMID: 33939753
Adherence of bacteria to the human intestinal mucosa can facilitate their internalization and the development of pathological processes. Escherichia coli O104:H4 is considered a hybrid strain (enteroaggregative hemorrhagic E. coli...

Foodborne Pathog Dis
. 2021 Apr;
18(7):469-476.
PMID: 33900863
Cantaloupes contaminated with pathogens have led to many high-profile outbreaks and illnesses. Since bacterial virulence genes (VGs) can act in tandem with antibiotic-resistance and mobile genetic elements, there is a...

PMID: 33544079
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...

Nanoscale
. 2020 Oct;
12(40):20693-20698.
PMID: 33029599
The propensity of broad-spectrum antibiotics to indiscriminately kill both pathogenic and beneficial bacteria has a profound impact on the spread of resistance across multiple bacterial species. Alternative approaches that narrow...

PMID: 30198841
Rod-shaped mycobacteria expand from their poles, yet d-amino acid probes label cell wall peptidoglycan in this genus at both the poles and sidewall. We sought to clarify the metabolic fates...
