Variations in the Degree of d-Alanylation of Teichoic Acids in Lactococcus lactis Alter Resistance to Cationic Antimicrobials but Have No Effect on Bacterial Surface Hydrophobicity and Charge

An increase of the degree of d-alanylation of teichoic acids in Lactococcus lactis resulted in a significant increase of bacterial resistance toward the cationic antimicrobials nisin and lysozyme, whereas the absence of d-alanylation led to a decreased resistance toward the same compounds. In contra...
