Peptidoglycan N-Acetylglucosamine Deacetylase, a Putative Virulence Factor in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Many glucosamine residues of the pneumococcal peptidoglycan (PG) are not acetylated, which makes the PG resistant to lysozyme. A capsular type III mutant with an inactivated pgdA gene (encoding the peptidoglycan N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase A) became hypersensitive to exogenous lysozyme and showe...
