Functional characterization of TcaA: minimal requirement for teicoplanin susceptibility and role in Caenorhabditis elegans virulence.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Nov 2007

McCallum Nadine, Brassinga Ann Karen C, Sifri Costi D, Berger-Bächi Brigitte

Abstract excerpt

The inactivation of TcaA contributes to intrinsic teicoplanin resistance in experimental and clinical isolates of glycopeptide-intermediate resistant Staphylococcus aureus. PhoA fusions confirmed that TcaA is a transmembrane protein with a short intracellular N-terminal domain containing a C-4 zi...
