The cell wall envelope of gram-positive bacteria is a macromolecular, exoskeletal organelle
that is assembled and turned over at designated sites. The cell wall also functions as a …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are present in the intestine of most animals. The beneficial role
played by these microorganisms in the humans and other animals, including the effect on …

The cell wall of lactic acid bacteria has the typical Gram-positive structure made of a thick,
multilayered peptidoglycan sacculus decorated with proteins, teichoic acids and …

Many surface proteins of Gram‐positive bacteria are anchored to the cell wall envelope by a
transpeptidation mechanism, requiring a C‐terminal sorting signal with a conserved LPXTG …

Staphylococcus aureus sortase anchors surface proteins to the cell wall envelope by
cleaving polypeptides at the LPXTG motif. Surface proteins are linked to the peptidoglycan …

Display of heterologous proteins on the surface of microorganisms, enabled by means of
recombinant DNA technology, has become an increasingly used strategy in various …

The first scientific attempts to control an infectious disease can be attributed to Edward
Jenner, who, in 1796 inoculated an 8-year-old boy with cowpox (vaccinia), giving the boy …

InlB is a Listeria monocytogenes protein that is sufficient to promote entry in a variety of
mammalian cells. The last 232‐amino‐acid domain (Csa) of InlB has been shown to …

Lactococcus lactis, the model lactic acid bacterium (LAB), is a food grade and well-
characterized Gram positive bacterium. It is a good candidate for heterologous protein …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), widely used in the food industry, are present in the intestine of
most animals, including humans. The potential use of these bacteria as live vehicles for the …
