The importance of the cell wall to the viability of the bacterium is underscored by the breadth
of antibiotic structures that act by blocking key enzymes that are tasked with cell-wall …

The history of modern medicine cannot be written apart from the history of the antibiotics.
Antibiotics are cytotoxic secondary metabolites that are isolated from Nature. The …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the dominant reservoir of terrestrial organic carbon and
nitrogen, and microbial necromass represents a primary input to it. However, knowledge of …

This review deeply addresses for the first time the diversity, regulation and mechanisms
leading to mutational overexpression of intrinsic β-lactamases from non-fermenting and …

The ability to recover components of their own cell wall is a common feature of bacteria. This
was initially recognized in the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, which recycles …

Antibiotic resistance continues to be a most serious threat to public health. This situation
demands that the scientific community increase their efforts for the discovery of alternative …

The bacterial cell-wall that forms a protective layer over the inner membrane is called the
murein sacculus–a tightly cross-linked peptidoglycan mesh unique to bacteria. Cell-wall …

The quorum sensing (QS) inhibition effect of methyl N-methylanthranilate (MMA) from
Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Chachiensis against foodborne pathogen Pseudomonas …

During growth and division, the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (PG) is remodelled,
resulting in the liberation of PG muropeptides which are typically reinternalized and …

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa presents a serious threat to public
health due to its widespread resistance to numerous antibiotics. P. aeruginosa commonly …
