Abstract excerpt
Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are important components of the cell wall of the opportunistic Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. WTAs are composed of repeating ribitol phosphate (RboP) residues that are decorated with d-alanine and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) modifications, in a seemingly random manner.
