<jats:p> Recognition of microbial patterns by host pattern recognition receptors is a key step in immune activation in multicellular eukaryotes. Peptidoglycans (PGNs) are major components of bacterial cell walls that possess immunity-stimulating activities in metazoans and plants. Here we show that PGN sensing and immunity to bacterial infection in <jats:italic>Arabidopsis thaliana</jats:italic> requires three lysin-motif (LysM) domain proteins. LYM1 and LYM3 are plasma membrane proteins that physically interact with PGNs and mediate <jats:italic>Arabidopsis</jats:italic> sensitivity to structurally different PGNs from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. <jats:italic>lym1</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>lym3</jats:italic> mutants lack PGN-induced changes in transcriptome activity patterns, but respond to fungus-derived chitin, a pattern structurally related to PGNs, in a wild-type manner. Notably, <jats:italic>lym1</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>lym3</jats:italic> , and <jats:italic>lym3 lym1</jats:italic> mutant genotypes exhibit supersusceptibility to infection with virulent <jats:italic>Pseudomonas syringae</jats:italic> pathovar <jats:italic>tomato</jats:italic> DC3000. Defects in basal immunity in <jats:italic>lym3 lym1</jats:italic> double mutants resemble those observed in <jats:italic>lym1</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>lym3</jats:italic> single mutants, suggesting that both proteins are part of the same recognition system. We further show that deletion of CERK1, a LysM receptor kinase that had previously been implicated in chitin perception and immunity to fungal infection in <jats:italic>Arabidopsis</jats:italic> , phenocopies defects observed in <jats:italic>lym1</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>lym3</jats:italic> mutants, such as peptidoglycan insensitivity and enhanced susceptibility to bacterial infection. Altogether, our findings suggest that plants share with metazoans the ability to recognize bacterial PGNs. However, as <jats:italic>Arabidopsis</jats:italic> LysM domain proteins LYM1, LYM3, and CERK1 form a PGN recognition system that is unrelated to metazoan PGN receptors, we propose that lineage-specific PGN perception systems have arisen through convergent evolution. </jats:p>
