Keywords: Peptidoglycan; Staphylococcus aureus; Metabolomics; Cell wall.
Highlights: • UDP-linked and amino acid peptidoglycan (PG) intermediates in S. aureus were quantified by LCMS/MS analysis. • An LC-MS/MS approach to total PG quantification was also developed, and used to estimate an S. aureus PG pathway flux of 690 µM/min. • S. aureus PG intermediate levels were compared with S. aureus pathway enzyme characteristics – and E. coli levels and enzyme characteristics. • This study provides the first quantification of both UDP-linked and amine peptidoglycan intermediate levels in S. aureus.
