The Sle1 Cell Wall Amidase Is Essential for β-Lactam Resistance in Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300

Most clinically relevant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains have become resistant to β-lactams antibiotics through horizontal acquisition of the mecA gene encoding PBP2a, a peptidoglycan transpeptidase with low affinity for β-lactams.
