Abstract
Wall teichoic acid (WTA) contributes profoundly to the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus. The successful in vitro reconstitution of poly-ribitolphosphate WTA biosynthesis using recombinant enzymes sheds new light on WTA enzymology and paves the way for developing new antibiotics that target WTA biosynthesis, as discussed in Brown et al. in a recent issue of Chemistry & Biology.Entities:
