Abstract

The Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBP) of Listeria monocytogenes 29-CCM-A: 454 (ATCC 15313) are described by the use of 125I-Penicillin X as radiotracer. The membranes of this tolerant bacilli contained at least five proteins with different affinities for the radiotracer or Dicloxacillin. The molecular weights of these proteins were estimated as 76, 74, 67, 66 and 47 KDa. Dicloxacillin induced the formation of straight filaments when present at sub-inhibitory concentrations, while Penicillin G did not induce any visible alteration in the morphology of this microorganism.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
