The Carboxyl Terminus of Peptidoglycan Stem Peptides Is a Determinant for Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

A mecA-containing Staphylococcus aureus strain was grown in the presence of high concentrations of d-serine, d-threonine, and d-phenylalanine. These growth conditions resulted in the replacement of the carboxyl-terminal (fifth) d-alanine residue of peptidoglycan stem peptides with the d-amino acid p...
