Listeria monocytogenes wall teichoic acid glycosylation promotes surface anchoring of virulence factors, resistance to antimicrobial peptides, and decreased susceptibility to antibiotics
The cell wall of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), a major intracellular foodborne bacterial pathogen, comprises a thick peptidoglycan layer that serves as a scaffold for glycopolymers such as wall teichoic acids (WTAs). WTAs contain non-essential sugar substituents whose absence prevents bacteriophage b...
