Objectives Cefoxitin and imipenem are the sole recommended β-lactams for the treatment
of Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary infections. Here, we investigated whether one of …

Bacteria resist to the turgor pressure of the cytoplasm through a net‐like macromolecule, the
peptidoglycan, made of glycan strands connected via peptides cross‐linked by penicillin‐…

Chromosomal and plasmid-borne AmpC cephalosporinases are a major resistance
mechanism to β-lactams in Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . The new β-…

Xenobiotic nucleic acids (XNAs) offer tremendous potential for synthetic biology, biotechnology,
and molecular medicine but their ability to mimic nucleic acids still needs to be explored. …

Xenobiotic nucleic acids (XNAs) offer tremendous potential for synthetic biology, biotechnology,
and molecular medicine but their ability to mimic nucleic acids still needs to be explored. …

Infections due to Mycobacterium abscessus carry a poor prognosis since this rapidly growing
mycobacterium is intrinsically resistant to most antibiotics. Here, we evaluate the in vitro …

Introduction The ESCPM group (Enterobacter species including Klebsiella aerogenes -
formerly Enterobacter aerogenes, Serratia species, Citrobacter freundii complex, Providencia …

Production of non‐canonical d‐amino acids (NCDAAs) in stationary phase promotes remodelling
of peptidoglycan (PG), the polymer that comprises the bacterial cell wall. Impairment of …

Bacterial populations have a remarkable capacity to cope with extreme environmental
fluctuations in their natural environments. In certain cases, adaptation to one stressful …

The peptidoglycan ( PG ) sacculus provides bacteria with the mechanical strength to maintain
cell shape and resist osmotic stress. Enlargement of the mesh‐like sacculus requires the …
