Vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> (VREfm) is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections globally and demands new approaches for treatment. Here we show that genetic and pharmacological inactivation of a highly conserved NlpC/P60 peptidoglycan hydrolase, secreted antigen A (SagA), enhanced vancomycin susceptibility of VREfm <i>ex vivo</i> and <i>in vivo</i>. Notably, genetic deletion of <i>sagA</i> impaired VREfm peptidoglycan remodeling, growth and increased the activity ...[more]
