Open AccessThe GraRS regulatory system controls Staphylococcus aureus susceptibility to antimicrobial host defenses
Modification of teichoic acids with D-alanine by the products of the dlt operon protects Gram-positive bacteria against major antimicrobial host defense molecules such as defensins, cathelicidins, myeloperoxidase...
