Abstract excerpt
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a cell surface polymer of Gram-positive bacteria. LTA participates in host-microbe interactions including modulation of host immune reactions. It was previously reported that the major human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae and the closely related oral commensals S. mitis and S. oralis produce Type IV LTAs. Herein, using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS)-based lipidomic...
