Identification of a novel cationic glycolipid in <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> that contributes to brain entry and meningitis

2020-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial membrane lipids are critical for membrane bilayer formation, cell division, protein localization, stress responses, and pathogenesis. Despite their critical roles, membrane lipids have not been fully elucidated for many pathogens. Here, we report the discovery of a novel cationic glycolipid, Lysyl-Glucosyl-Diacylglycerol (Lys-Glc-DAG) that is synthesized in high abundance by the bacterium Streptococcus...
