A New Model of Pneumococcal Lipoteichoic Acid Structure Resolves Biochemical, Biosynthetic, and Serologic Inconsistencies of the Current Model

2 Feb 2008

Abstract excerpt

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an essential bacterial membrane polysaccharide (cell wall component) that is attached to the membrane via a lipid anchor. According to the currently accepted structure of pneumococcal LTA, the polysaccharide is comprised of several repeating units, each of which starts with glucose and ends with ribitol, with the lipid anchor predicted to be...
