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

… Brown and co-workers have speculated that their reporter assay can be used in a high-throughput
screen to identify compounds that target either the cell wall or wall teichoic acid …

Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are charged glycopolymers containing phosphodiester-linked
polyol units and represent one of the major components of Gram-positive cell envelope. WTAs …

… Cell wall-associated glycopolymers called wall teichoic acids (WTAs) contribute to efficient
nasal colonization by S. aureus. In addition, WTAs are key targets of the host immune system …

… Here we show that targeting of the amidase repeats is based on an exclusion strategy
mediated by wall teichoic acid (WTA). In Staphylococcus aureus wild-type, externally applied …

… cell wall. Despite decades of careful investigation, a definitive physiological function … wall
teichoic acids remains elusive. Advances in the genetics and biochemistry of wall teichoic acid …

… The cell wall teichoic acid structures of 22 staphylococci including 13 type strains were … the
cell wall teichoic acids. These data pointed to the occurrence of new types of teichoic acids in …

… TAs are usually constitutively produced and either connected to PG (wall teichoic acids,
WTA) or to the cytoplasmic membrane (lipoteichoic acids, LTA). S. aureus and most other Gram-…

… other Gram-positive bacteria express teichoic acid polymers at their surfaces that are
either linked to membrane lipids (lipoteichoic acid) or to peptidoglycan (wall teichoic acid (WTA) …

Wall teichoic acid (WTA) are major constituents of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) cell
envelopes with important roles in the bacteria’s physiology, resistance to antimicrobial …
