Abstract: This review describes the developments in the synthesis of teichoic acids (TA) - glycosylated poly(alditolphosphates) - and the application of these fragments in immunological studies. These structurally diverse biopolymers are omnipresent constituents of the Gram-positive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.14351
Abstract: Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are important surface glycopolymers involved in various physiological processes occurring in the Gram-positive cell envelope. We previously showed that the decoration of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) WTAs with l-rhamnose conferred resistance against… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1007723
Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus and other bacterial pathogens affix wall teichoic acids (WTAs) to their surface. These highly abundant anionic glycopolymers have critical functions in bacterial physiology and their susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics. The membrane-associated TagA glycosyltransferase… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.01437
Abstract: The dlt operon of Gram-positive bacteria is required for the incorporation of D-alanine esters into cell wall-associated teichoic acids (TAs). Addition of D-alanine to TAs reduces the negative charge of the cell envelope thereby preventing… read more here.
