A long series of experiments, beginning in 1956 and ending around 1980, established an outline of cell wall structure and demonstrated that penicillin inhibited one of the terminal steps in its ...

The bacterial cell wall is a crucial structure that provides shape ... in resistant strains of *Staphylococcus aureus* has opened new avenues for antibiotic development. These compounds can ...

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin ...

S. aureus cell wall-associated virulence factors include capsular polysaccharides (CPs), staphyloxanthin (carotenoid pigment), and a group of proteins known as microbial surface components ...

We determine the structure and function of the cell wall to elucidate not only how it permits cell growth but also how antibiotics lead to death. We use the infamous “super bug” Staphylococcus aureus ...
