Abstract
The FemAB-like factors Lif and Epr confer resistance to glycylglycine endop eptidases lysostaphin and Ale-1, respectively, by incorporating serine resi dues into the staphylococcal peptidoglycan interpeptide bridges specificall y at positions 3 and 5. This required the presence of FemA and/or FemB, in contrast to earlier postulations.
