Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive facultative intracellular pathogen that can cause
severe invasive infections upon ingestion with contaminated food. Clinically, listerial …

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive pathogen responsible for the manifestation of
human listeriosis, an opportunistic foodborne disease with an associated high mortality rate …

Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. Although
experiments with organisms in vitro have yielded a wealth of information on PG synthesis …

The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes experiences osmotic stress in many
habitats, including foods and the gastrointestinal tract of the host. During transmission, L …

Bacterial growth and cell division requires precise spatiotemporal regulation of the synthesis
and remodelling of the peptidoglycan layer that surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane. GpsB …

Contamination of food during processing is recognized as a main transmission route of
Listeria monocytogenes. To prevent microbial contamination, biocides are widely applied as …

Intrinsic resistance to antibiotics is a serious therapeutic problem in the case of many
bacterial species. The Gram‐positive human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is …

Abstract In the Firmicutes phylum, GpsB is a membrane associated protein that coordinates
peptidoglycan synthesis with cell growth and division. Although GpsB has been studied in …

In Escherichia coli, low-molecular-mass penicillin-binding proteins (LMM PBPs) are
important for correct cell morphogenesis. These enzymes display dd-carboxypeptidase …

Rod-shaped bacteria have two modes of peptidoglycan synthesis: lateral synthesis and
synthesis at the cell division site. These two processes are controlled by two …
