The peptidoglycan layers of many gram-positive bacteria are densely functionalized with
anionic glycopolymers known as wall teichoic acids (WTAs). These polymers play crucial …

Gram-positive organisms, including the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus
pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis, have dynamic cell envelopes that mediate …

One of the major differences between Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms is the
presence or absence of an outer membrane (Figure 1). In Gram-negative organisms, the …

Staphylococci and most other Gram-positive bacteria incorporate complex teichoic acid (TA)
polymers into their cell envelopes. Several crucial roles in Staphylococcus aureus fitness …

Wall teichoic acids are a major and integral component of the Gram-positive cell wall. These
structures are present across all species of Gram-positive bacteria and constitute roughly …

Methods Staphylococcus aureus was grown in the presence of GO and samples were
collected at different growth phases to examine the cell viability and to analyze the changes …

Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria contain bactoprenol-dependent
biosynthetic pathways expressing non-essential cell surface polysaccharides that function …

Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are phosphate-rich, sugar-based polymers attached to the cell
walls of most Gram-positive bacteria. In Staphylococcus aureus, these anionic polymers …

The major surface polysaccharides of Staphylococcus aureus include the capsular
polysaccharide (CP), cell wall teichoic acid (WTA), and polysaccharide intercellular …

Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are charged glycopolymers containing phosphodiester-linked
polyol units and represent one of the major components of Gram-positive cell envelope …
