Complete Structure of the Enterococcal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA) of Vancomycin-Resistant <named-content content-type="genus-species">Enterococcus faecalis</named-content> V583 Reveals that EPA Decorations Are Teichoic Acids Covalently Linked to a Rhamnopolysaccharide Backbone
ABSTRACT All enterococci produce a complex polysaccharide called the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen (EPA). This polymer is required for normal cell growth and division and for resistance to cephalosporins and plays a critical role in host-pathogen interaction. The EPA contributes to host coloni...
