Lysozyme is a cornerstone of innate immunity. The canonical mechanism for bacterial killing
by lysozyme occurs through the hydrolysis of cell wall peptidoglycan (PG). Conventional …

Although human colonization by facultative bacterial pathogens, such as Staphylococcus
aureus, represents a major risk factor for invasive infections, the commensal lifestyle of such …

The peptidoglycan layers of many gram-positive bacteria are densely functionalized with
anionic glycopolymers known as wall teichoic acids (WTAs). These polymers play crucial …

Lysozymes are hydrolytic enzymes characterized by their ability to cleave the β-(1, 4)-
glycosidic bonds in peptidoglycan, a major structural component of the bacterial cell wall …

The emergence of vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) and
heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) over the past …

Abstract Lysozymes (EC 3.2. 1.17) are hydrolytic enzymes, characterized by their ability to
cleave the β-(1, 4)-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine …

Abstract Abstract| Most Gram-positive bacteria incorporate membrane-or peptidoglycan-
attached carbohydrate-based polymers into their cell envelopes. Such cell-wall …

The global public health threat of antimicrobial resistance has led the scientific community to
highly engage into research on alternative strategies to the traditional small molecule …

Many Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria recycle a significant proportion of the
peptidoglycan components of their cell walls during their growth and septation. In many …

The biological diversity of the unicellular bacteria—whether assessed by shape, food,
metabolism, or ecological niche—surely rivals (if not exceeds) that of the multicellular …
