Wall teichoic acid protects Staphylococcus aureus against antimicrobial fatty acids from human skin.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 2009

Kohler Thomas, Weidenmaier Christopher, Peschel Andreas

Abstract excerpt

Skin-colonizing gram-positive bacteria produce wall teichoic acids (WTAs) or related glycopolymers for unclear reasons. Using a WTA-deficient Staphylococcus aureus mutant, we demonstrated that WTA confers resistance to antimicrobial fatty acids from human sebaceous glands by preventing fatty acid...
