Membrane linkage of a <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Wzy capsular polysaccharide occurs through an acylglycerol

2020-09-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Capsular polysaccharides (capsules) protect bacteria from environmental insults and can contribute to virulence in pathogenic bacteria. Their appropriate display on the bacterial surface is critical to their functions. In Gram-positive bacteria, most capsules are synthesized by the Wzy polymerase-dependent pathway, which is also utilized in the synthesis of many capsules and O-antigens of Gram-n...
