  • Title: Teichoic acid glycosylation mediated by gtcA is required for phage adsorption and susceptibility of Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b.
    Author: Cheng Y, Promadej N, Kim JW, Kathariou S.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2008 Mar; 74(5):1653-5. PubMed ID: 18192405.
    Abstract:
    An insertion mutant of gtcA, responsible for serotype-specific glycosylation of the cell wall teichoic acid in serotype 4b strains of Listeria monocytogenes, was also resistant to both Listeria genus- and serotype 4b-specific phages. The sugar substituents on teichoic acid appeared essential for the adsorption of phages A500 (serotype 4b specific) and A511 (Listeria genus specific) to serotype 4b L. monocytogenes.
