ABSTRACT We investigated the roles of Vibrio cholerae high-molecular-weight bifunctional penicillin binding proteins, PBP1a and PBP1b, in fitness this enteric pathogen. Using a screen for synthetic lethality, we found that V. PBP1b like their Escherichia coli homologues, are each essential absence other other's putative activator, outer membrane lipoproteins LpoA LpoB, respectively. Comparative analyses mutants suggest PBP1a/LpoA play more prominent role generating and/or maintaining...
