Staphylococci and most other Gram-positive bacteria incorporate complex teichoic acid (TA)
polymers into their cell envelopes. Several crucial roles in Staphylococcus aureus fitness …

The thick peptidoglycan layers of Gram-positive bacteria are connected to polyanionic
glycopolymers called wall teichoic acids (WTA). Pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus …

The peptidoglycan layers of many gram-positive bacteria are densely functionalized with
anionic glycopolymers known as wall teichoic acids (WTAs). These polymers play crucial …

Highlights•Teichoic acids are conserved glycopolymers found in Gram-positive cell
envelopes.•LTA biosynthetic genes are essential and good targets for traditional …

Resistance to every family of clinically used antibiotics has emerged, and there is a pressing
need to explore unique antibacterial targets. Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are anionic …

Wall teichoic acids are a major and integral component of the Gram-positive cell wall. These
structures are present across all species of Gram-positive bacteria and constitute roughly …

Staphylococcus aureus synthesizes polyglycerol-phosphate lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from
phosphatidylglycerol. LtaS, a predicted membrane protein with 5 N-terminal transmembrane …

Staphylococcus aureus and related Gram-positive bacteria with important roles in cell wall …

Staphylococcus aureus contains two distinct teichoic acid (TA) polymers, lipoteichoic acid
(LTA) and wall teichoic acid (WTA), which are proposed to play redundant roles in regulating …

Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs), glycolipids and, less wide-spread, teichoic acids (TAs) are
