A Novel Salmonella Periplasmic Protein Controlling Cell Wall Homeostasis and Virulence

A Novel Salmonella Periplasmic Protein Controlling Cell Wall Homeostasis and Virulence

Horizontal gene transfer has shaped the evolution of Salmonella enterica as pathogen. Some functions acquired by this mechanism include enzymes involved in peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis and remodeling. Here, we report a novel serovar Typhimurium protein that is absent in non-pathogenic bacteria and b...
