The Lipoteichoic Acid-Related Proteins YqgS and LafA Contribute to the Resistance of Listeria monocytogenes to Nisin.

PMID 35196823 · 2022

YqgS and LafA, lipoteichoic acid-related proteins, are essential for Listeria monocytogenes resistance to nisin. Their deletion increases susceptibility to nisin and other cell envelope-targeting antimicrobials.
