Study of the role of wall teichoic acids in the localization Staphylococcus aureus cell wall synthesis protein PBP4

The cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus is a highly complex network mainly composed of highly cross-linked peptidoglycan (PG) and teichoic acids (TAs), both important for the maintenance of the integrity and viability of bacteria. The penicillin binding proteins (PBPs), which catalyse the final stage...
