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.Entities:
