Enterococcal cell wall remodelling underpins pathogenesis via the release of the Enteroccocal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA).

Enterococcal cell wall remodelling underpins pathogenesis via the release of the Enteroccocal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA).

Enterococci are opportunistic pathogens displaying a characteristic ovoid shape, typically forming pairs of cells (diplococci) and short chains. Control of cell chain length in Enterococcus faecalis relies on the activity of the major N-acetylglucosaminidase AtlA. The formation of short chains and d...
