01
Overview
The bacterial cell wall is a semi-rigid, mesh-like structure located outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria. It is essential for maintaining cell shape, providing mechanical strength, and protecting the bacterium from osmotic lysis. The wall also contributes to pathogenicity in some species and serves as a barrier against certain toxins and antibiotics.
