FtsH Sensitizes Methicillin-Resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> to β-Lactam Antibiotics by Degrading YpfP, a Lipoteichoic Acid Synthesis Enzyme

In the Gram-positive pathogen <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, FtsH, a membrane-bound metalloprotease, plays a critical role in bacterial virulence and stress resistance. This protease is also known to sensitize methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) to β-lact...
