The aPBP-type cell wall synthase PBP1b plays a specialized role in fortifying the Escherichia coli division site against osmotic rupture

Paula P. Navarro, Andrea Vettiger, Roman Hajdu, Virly Y. Ananda, Alejandro Lopez-Tavares, Ernst W. Schmid, Johannes C. Walter, Martin Loose, Luke H. Chao, Thomas G. Bernhardt
