There was some question that showed up on some NBME I believe that mentioned lack of muramic acid in a bacterium and the answer was chlamydia. Lack of Muramic acid which is a component of peptidoglycan cell wall, "no muramic= no mermaids" Chlamydia exists in what 2 forms-Elementary body (pearl) -Reticulate body (pearl in split clam) Life cycle of Chlamydia: 1st stage is __ stage and is __ form. Intracellular replicating form of chlamydia; It is the secondary stage. These sugar and amino acids form a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria and some archaea. Lacks classic peptidoglycan in cell wall: this is due to reduced muramic acid, and results in β-lactam antibiotics being less effective for this pathogen. Immun. Muramic acid is not detectable in Chlamydia psittaci or Chlamydia trachomatis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. When someone with discharge gets a culture done and "nothing grew," the diagnosis is chlamydia. 58 , 835–837 (1990) TRANSMISSION. Peptidoglycan is a polymer, forming the cell walls of many bacteria consisting of sugars and amino acids. Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Benzylpenicillin completely inhibited the formation of infectious elementary bodies (EBs) at a concentration of 19 pmol/ml or higher and produced abnormally large reticulate bodies (RBs) in the inclusions at 30 pmol/ml or higher. Can be seen in cells with a Giemsa stain. The notable difference of the cell wall of chlamydia trachomatis bacterium is that it is gram negative and it has little muramic acid unlike in other bacteria.
It lacks a peptidoglycan cell wall. The chlamydial cell has a Gram-negative cell wall structure consisting of an outer membrane and an inner cytoplasmic membrane. Chlamydia trachomatis is an intracellular organism that has a genome size of approximately 500-1000 kilobases and contains both RNA and DNA. Table 1 summarizes the results of several studies on muramic acid levels in Chlamydia spp. But you're not going to get gram staining with chlamydia because it's intracellular. Chlamydia trachomatis is technically a pleomorphic gram negative bacteria, but in reality they are simply difficult to gram stain. They can be stained with Giemsa. Muramic acid (component of peptidoglycan = no peptidoglycan layer) Chlamydia contains cell walls which lack this substance. Immun. Chlamydia trachomatis is technically a pleomorphic gram negative bacteria, but in reality they are simply difficult to gram stain.
It has a coccoid or rod shape. They are non-motile. It … J Bacteriol 151: 420– 428 [Google Scholar] Beatty W. L, Morrison R. P, Byrne G. I. MOLECULAR CHARACTERISTICS. Despite being sensitive to penicillin and containing penicillin-binding proteins, chlamydiae lack measurable muramic acid, a structure found exclusively in peptidoglycan.
An absence of the muramic acid means that the microorganism is resistant to any form of beta-lactam antibiotics that targets the muramic acid and the peptidoglycan. OpenUrl Abstract / FREE Full Text.
