The role of teichoic acids of bifidobacteria in driving the interaction with the human host

Abstract excerpt

An in silico survey carried out in this study, performed on more than 3,000 publicly available bifidobacterial genome sequences, revealed clear differences in genes predicted to be involved in teichoic acid (TA) biosynthesis at inter-species level, indicating that only a small number of species possess a specific cluster for the production and assembly of these cell envelope-associated structures. Among these,...
