Chang J, Wallace A, Foster E, Kim S
Biochemistry . 2018 Jan; 57(7):1274-1283. PMID: 29368511
Peptidoglycan (PG) is a major component of the cell wall in Enterococcus faecalis. Accurate analysis of PG composition provides crucial insights into the bacterium's cellular functions and responses to external...

Chang J, Foster E, Wallace A, Kim S
Sci Rep . 2017 Apr; 7:46500. PMID: 28406232
Vancomycin resistance is conferred upon vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) through the replacement of peptidoglycan (PG) stem terminal d-Ala-d-Ala with d-Ala-d-Lac. The d-Ala-d-Lac incorporation can affect both the fitness and virulence of...

Biochemistry . 2017 Jan; 56(4):612-622. PMID: 28040891
Induction of vancomycin resistance in vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) involves replacement of the d-Ala-d-Ala terminus of peptidoglycan (PG) stems with d-Ala-d-Lac, dramatically reducing the binding affinity of vancomycin for lipid II....
