Genetic diversity of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> wall teichoic acid glycosyltransferases affects immune recognition

2022-05-25

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) is a leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections and (hospital-acquired) systemic infections. Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are cell wall-anchored glycopolymers that are important for S. aureus nasal colonization, endocarditis, and antibiotic resistance. WTAs consist of a polymerized ribitol phosphate (RboP) chain that can be glycosylated with N -acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)...
