The Staphylococcus aureus cell division protein, DivIC, interacts with the cell wall and controls its biosynthesis

The conserved division protein DivIC in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus controls cell division through the recruitment of major cell wall synthesis enzymes to the division site.
