A unique class of Zn2+-binding serine-based PBPs underlies cephalosporin resistance and sporogenesis in Clostridioides difficile
Antibiotics of the β-lactam class inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis by targeting penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Here, Sacco et al. study the four PBPs present in the pathogen C. difficile, revealing unique structural features and shedding light on the mechanisms underlying β-lactam resistan...
