Maturing Mycobacterial Peptidoglycan Requires Non-canonical Crosslinks to Maintain Shape
Catherine Baranowski, Michael A. Welsh, Lok-To Sham…·E. Hesper Rego
The paper shows that LDT-mediated crosslinks in mycobacteria are crucial for maintaining rod shape at aging cell wall sites, and their absence makes Mtb more susceptible to combined PBP and LDT-inhibiting drugs.
