Minimal exposure of lipid II cycle intermediates triggers cell wall antibiotic resistance

Antibiotics targeting cell wall synthesis display an unexplained gap between in vivo efficacy and in vitro binding affinity for their target. Here, Piepenbreier et al. develop a model for bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, show how it is affected by antibiotics, and use it to predict in vivo efficacy...

Sumario:Antibiotics targeting cell wall synthesis display an unexplained gap between in vivo efficacy and in vitro binding affinity for their target. Here, Piepenbreier et al. develop a model for bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, show how it is affected by antibiotics, and use it to predict in vivo efficacy of antibiotics.
