Discovery of glycerol phosphate modification on streptococcal rhamnose polysaccharides

2018-06-04

Abstract excerpt

Cell wall glycopolymers on the surface of Gram-positive bacteria are fundamental to bacterial physiology and infection biology. These structures have also gained interest as vaccine antigens, in particular for the human pathogens Group A Streptococcus (GAS) and Streptococcus mutans . Streptococcal cell wall glycopolymers are considered to be functional homologues of wall teichoic acids but surprisingly lack the...
