Francisella tularensis D-Ala D-Ala Carboxypeptidase DacD Is Involved in Intracellular Replication and It Is Necessary for Bacterial Cell Wall Integrity

D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase, product of dacD gene in Francisella, belongs to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) and is involved in remodeling of newly synthetized peptidoglycan. In E. coli, PBPs are synthetized in various growth phases and they are able to substitute each other to a certain...
