The cell envelope is the first line of defense between a bacterium and the world-at-large.
Often, the initial steps that determine the outcome of chemical warfare, bacteriophage …

The hallmark of gram-negative bacteria and organelles such as mitochondria and
chloroplasts is the presence of an outer membrane. In bacteria such as Escherichia coli, the …

Peptidoglycan is a defining feature of the bacterial cell wall. Initially identified as a target of
the revolutionary beta-lactam antibiotics, peptidoglycan has become a subject of much …

The Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane fortifies the cell against environmental toxins
including antibiotics. Unique glycolipids called lipopolysaccharide/lipooligosaccharide …

The biosynthesis of cellular polysaccharides and glycoconjugates often involves lipid-linked
intermediates that need to be translocated across membranes. Essential pathways such as …

Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane (OM) impermeable to many toxic
compounds that can be further strengthened during stress. In Enterobacteriaceae, the …

Lipopolysaccharide is essential for most Gram-negative bacteria as it is a main component
of the outer membrane. In the pathogen Brucella abortus, smooth lipopolysaccharide …

The O-antigen, a long polysaccharide that constitutes the distal part of the outer membrane-
anchored lipopolysaccharide, is one of the critical components in the protective outer …

In this paper, we report a sensitive surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor
for the detection of food‐borne pathogens on the basis of recognition of bacterial cells …

Vancomycin and β-lactams are clinically important antibiotics that inhibit the formation of
peptidoglycan cross-links, but their binding targets are different. The binding target of …
