Influence of Wall Teichoic Acid on Lysozyme Resistance inStaphylococcus aureus

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan (PG) is completely resistant to the hydrolytic activity of lysozyme. Here we show that modifications in PG by O acetylation, wall teichoic acid, and a high degree of cross-linking contribute to this resistance.
