The fatty acid synthesis pathway is a checkpoint for lipoteichoic acid synthesis in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

2026-04-07

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial membranes comprise diverse lipids whose proportions vary according to environmental conditions. How cells direct lipid flux toward specific products remains unclear. We address this question in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus , where multiple lipid products compete for a common precursor, the major phospholipid, phosphatidylglycerol (PG). One product, lipoteichoic acid (LTA), is essential for c...
