Physiological Significance of the Peptidoglycan Hydrolase, LytM, in Staphylococcus aureus

Autolysins in bacteria are peptidoglycan hydrolases with roles in growth, turnover, and cell lysis. LytM was identified as the only autolysin in a previously reported autolysis-deficient (lyt(−)) strain of Staphylococcus aureus.
