Structure of the bacterial cell wall, the metabolic pathway for the biosynthesis of cell wall, and various antibiotics affecting various stages of cell wall synthesis are presented. Mechanisms of action of the antibiotics and the mechanisms of resistance development to the antibiotics are discussed. ...

In the study here it inhibited the formation of lipid intermediates from UDP-[U-14C]GlcNAc and ...
Certain antibiotics interfere with cell wall synthesis, weaken the peptidoglycan scaffold and thereby destroy the integrity of the cell wall structure. Since mammalian cells lack cell walls, inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis is a preferred target for discovering antibacterial agents. Inhibitors of ...

It thus follows that a possible influence (both negative and positive) of antibiotics on phagocyte functions should always be tested, especially when antibiotics are given for the treatment or prophylaxis of infections in immunocompromised patients. In these cases it would be logical to employ drugs ...
It was demonstrated that inhibition of Ddl directly produces a significant loss of strength of the bacterial cell wall and, as a result, a more likely disruption of the bacterial cell [11]. Hence, Ddl inhibitors have become attractive agents and hot spots for the development of new ...

From the BarSeq data, we observed that mutants with disruptions in LPS/O-antigen synthesis (e.g. hldD, wbiGH, ogcA, and K562_RS30805) and protein glycosylation (e.g. ogcABE and pglL) had altered susceptibility to several β-lactam antibiotics (Fig. 3A). To examine if defects in ...
