d-Alanylation of Lipoteichoic Acid Contributes to the Virulence of Streptococcus suis

We generated by allelic replacement a ΔdltA mutant of a virulent Streptococcus suis serotype 2 field strain and evaluated the contribution of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) d-alanylation to the virulence traits of this swine pathogen and zoonotic agent. The absence of LTA d-alanylation resulted in increase...
