Cell Wall Teichoic Acid Glycosylation in Listeria monocytogenes Serotype 4b Requires gtcA, a Novel, Serogroup-Specific Gene

We have identified a novel gene, gtcA, involved in the decoration of cell wall teichoic acid of Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b with galactose and glucose. Insertional inactivation of gtcA brought about loss of reactivity with the serotype 4b-specific monoclonal antibody c74.22 and was accompanie...
