The Penicillin-Binding Protein PbpP Is a Sensor of β-Lactams and Is Required for Activation of the Extracytoplasmic Function σ Factor σ(P) in Bacillus thuringiensis

β-Lactams are a class of antibiotics that target the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the cell wall. β-Lactams inhibit the function of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which form the cross-links between strands of peptidoglycan. Resistance to β-lactams complicates the treatme...
