Jack Strominger recounts his seminal work and contributions to understanding bacterial cell wall components ... I meant an antibody reaction—against peptidoglycan. My knowledge of immunology ...

My work is focused on the study of the bacterial cell wall using essentially two Gram-positive pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis) as models. I am interested in three major areas ...

We use the infamous “super bug” Staphylococcus aureus as our target organism to address key fundamental questions of bacterial life and death. S. aureus cell wall synthesis at the molecular level: ...

Most bacteria can be divided into two groups based on the composition of their cell wall: Gram+ and Gram- This is The Most Important staining technique in Bacteriology. Gram-positive cell walls have a ...

All bacteria have a cell wall composed of mesh-like strands of a big molecule called peptidoglycan, which surrounds the cell membrane. A cell wall provides the bacterial cell sturdiness and helps ...
