M Wang, LH Liu, GJ Boons, D Gupta… - Nature Medicine, 2011 - nature.com Mammalian peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs), similar to antimicrobial lectins, bind the bacterial cell wall and kill bacteria through an unknown mechanism. We show that PGRPs enter the Gram-positive cell wall at the site of daughter cell separation during cell division. ... Cited by 2 - All 3 versions

A colonization event is gradually cleared through phagocytosis by monocytes/macrophages that are recruited to the airway lumen. Here, we sought to define the bacterial and host ... Cited by 1
CS Rae, A Geissler, PC Adamson… - Infection and …, 2011 - Am Soc Microbiol Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive intracellular pathogen that is naturally resistant to lysozyme. Recently, it was shown that peptidoglycan modification by N-deacetylation or O-acetylation confers resistance to lysozyme in various Gram-positive bacteria, including L. ...
C Aubry, C Goulard, MA Nahori… - Journal of Infectious …, 2011 - jid.oxfordjournals.org Microbial pathogens have evolved mechanisms to overcome immune responses and successfully infect their host. Here, we studied how Listeria monocytogenes evades immune detection by peptidoglycan (PGN) modification. By analyzing L. monocytogenes muropeptides, we ... Cited by 1
