Genetic interference of distinctive Mycobacterium tuberculosis peptidoglycan modifications enhances β-lactam susceptibility and reveals expression-sensitive host immune dynamics

Cátia Silveiro, Mariana Marques, Francisco Olivença…·Maria João Catalão

This study uses CRISPRi to silence Mtb genes involved in peptidoglycan modifications, showing their role in β-lactam resistance and host immune responses.

Effects of CwlM, a peptidoglycan synthesis regulator, on beta-lactam resistance and host-pathogen interactions

Cátia Silveiro, Diana Mortinho, Francisco Olivença…·Maria João Catalão

This study investigates the role of CwlM in beta-lactam resistance and intracellular survival in Mycobacterium smegmatis, finding it promotes resistance and supports survival in macrophages without PG-hydrolytic activity.

Ethambutol and Meropenem/Clavulanate Synergy Promotes Enhanced Extracellular and Intracellular Killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Francisco Olivença, David Pires, Cátia Silveiro…·Maria João Catalão

This paper shows that combining ethambutol with beta-lactams like meropenem enhances extracellular and intracellular killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through synergistic effects on cell wall synthesis.
