Lipid analogs reveal features critical for hemolysis and diminish granadaene mediated Group B Streptococcus infection

Granadaene, produced by Group B Streptococcus (GBS), is a long polyene lipid involved in cellular toxicity and hemolytic activity. Here, the authors synthesize and characterize granadaene-like compounds and show that a non-toxic analog diminishes GBS infection in mice when incorporated into a vaccin...
