Surface Proteins on Gram-Positive Bacteria

Abstract excerpt

Surface proteins are critical for the survival of gram-positive bacteria both in the environment and to establish an infection. Depending on the organism, their surface proteins are evolutionarily tailored to interact with specific ligands on their target surface, be it inanimate or animate. Most surface molecules on these organisms are covalently anchored to the peptidoglycan through an LPxTG motif found at the...
