Members of the Mitis group of streptococci possess teichoic acids (TAs) as integral
components of their cell wall that are unique among Gram-positive bacteria. Both …

The opportunistic pathogen Streptococcus mitis possesses, like other members of the Mitis
group of viridans streptococci, phosphorylcholine (P-Cho)-containing teichoic acids (TAs) in …

The cell wall of Streptococcus pneumoniae contains an unusually complex wall teichoic acid
(WTA), which has identical repeating units as the membrane-anchored lipoteichoic acid …

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 …

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive human pathogen with a complex lipoteichoic
acid (pnLTA) structure. Because the current structural model for pnLTA shows substantial …

Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) are membrane-anchored molecules in the cell envelopes of Gram-
positive bacteria. Until recently, they were considered to be restricted to the Firmicutes …

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

The lipoteichoic acid (LTA) of the Streptococcus species DSM 8747 consists of a β-d-
galactofuranosyl diacylglycerol moiety (with different acyl groups) that is linked via 6-O to a …

Pneumococcal lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is known to have a completely different chemical
structure compared with that of Staphylococcus aureus: the polyglycerophosphate in the …

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 …
