Transposon-Induced Mutations in Two Loci of Listeria monocytogenes Serotype 1/2a Result in Phage Resistance and Lack of N-Acetylglucosamine in the Teichoic Acid of the Cell Wall

Teichoic acid-associated N-acetylglucosamine and rhamnose have been shown to serve as phage receptors in Listeria monocytogenes serotype 1/2a. We generated and characterized two single-copy Tn916ΔE mutants which were resistant to phage A118 and several other serotype 1/2a-specific phages. In one mut...
