Disclosed herein are compositions for assessing peptidoglycan biosynthesis in bacteria using modified dipeptides containing a bioorthogonal tag and applying novel post-labeling methods to label the bioorthogonal tag. The resultant, labeled peptidoglycan structures are amenable for identifying bacteria by microscopic visualization.
