Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan (PG) is completely resistant to the hydrolytic activity of lysozyme. Here we show that modifications in PG by O acetylation, wall teichoic acid, and a high degree of cross-linking contribute to this resistance.
金黄色葡萄球菌肽聚糖(PG)对溶菌酶的水解活性完全具有抗性。在此我们表明,通过O-乙酰化、壁磷壁酸和高度交联对PG进行的修饰促成了这种抗性。
