The cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus is composed of peptidoglycan and the anionic
polymers lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and wall teichoic acid. LTA is required for growth and …

Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan (PG) is densely functionalized with anionic polymers
called wall teichoic acids (WTAs). These polymers contain three tailoring modifications: d …

The opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is protected by a cell envelope that is
crucial for viability. In addition to peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an especially …

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 …

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) in Staphylococcus aureus is a poly-glycerophosphate polymer
anchored to the outer surface of the cell membrane. LTA has numerous roles in cell …

Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is composed of a linear 1, 3-linked
polyglycerolphosphate chain and is tethered to the bacterial membrane by a glycolipid …

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

The cell wall is a vital and multi-functional part of bacterial cells. For Staphylococcus aureus,
an important human bacterial pathogen, surface proteins and cell wall polymers are …

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 …

Staphylococcus simulans bv. staphylolyticus secretes lysostaphin, a bacteriocin that cleaves
pentaglycine cross bridges in the cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus. The C-terminal cell …
