Role of d -Alanylation ofStreptococcus gordoniiLipoteichoic Acid in Innate and Adaptive Immunity
10 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in using the oral commensal gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus gordonii as a live vaccine vector. The present study investigated the role of d-alanylation of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) in the interaction of S. gordonii with the host innate and adaptive immune responses. A mutant strain defective in d-alanylation was generated by inactivation of the dltA gene...
