Dissecting the roles of peptidoglycan synthetic and autolytic activities in the walled to L-form bacterial transition

Bacterial cells are surrounded by a peptidoglycan (PG) wall, which is a crucial target for antibiotics. It is well known that treatment with cell wall-active antibiotics occasionally converts bacteria to a non-walled “L-form” state that requires the loss of cell wall integrity.
