Wall teichoic acid substitution with glucose governs phage susceptibility of Staphylococcus epidermidis

Wall teichoic acid substitution with glucose governs phage susceptibility of Staphylococcus epidermidis

ABSTRACTThe species- and clone-specific susceptibility of Staphylococcus cells for bacteriophages is governed by the structures and glycosylation patterns of wall teichoic acid (WTA) glycopolymers. The glycosylation-dependent phage-WTA interactions in the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus epider...
