Wall teichoic acids are dispensable for anchoring the PNAG exopolysaccharide to the Staphylococcus aureus cell surface

Biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus is usually associated with the production of the poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) exopolysaccharide, synthesized by proteins encoded by the icaADBC operon. PNAG is a linear beta-(1-6)-linked N-acetylglucosaminoglycan that has to be partially deacetylated and...
