Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an abundant polymer of the Gram-positive bacterial cell envelope
and is essential for many species. Whereas the exact function of LTA has not been …

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a Gram-positive bacterial cell surface polymer that participates in
host-microbe interactions. It was previously reported that the major human pathogen …

Background D-alanylated lipoteichoic acid is a virtually ubiquitous component of Gram-
positive cell walls. Mutations in the dltABCD operon of numerous species exhibit pleiotropic …

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a glycerol phosphate surface polymer, is a component of the
envelope of Gram-positive bacteria. However, the molecular basis for its synthesis or …

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is one of two anionic polymers on the surface of the gram-positive
bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. LTA is critical for the bacterium-host cell interaction and …

Introduction: The hydrophilic, polymeric chain of the lipoteichoic acid (LTA) of the Gram-
positive pathobiont Streptococcus pneumoniae is covalently linked to the …

Background Hydrophobicity is an important attribute of bacteria that contributes to adhesion
and biofilm formation. Hydrophobicity of Streptococcus pyogenes is primarily due to …

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an important cell wall polymer found in gram-positive bacteria.
Although the exact role of LTA is unknown, mutants display significant growth and …

Teichoic acid (TA), a crucial cell wall constituent of the pathobiont Streptococcus
pneumoniae, is bound to peptidoglycan (wall teichoic acid, WTA) or to membrane …

Many Gram‐positive bacteria produce lipoteichoic acid (LTA) polymers whose physiological
roles have remained a matter of debate because of the lack of LTA‐deficient mutants. The …
