This paper identifies AtlE, an N-acetylmuramidase essential for virulence in E. faecalis, showing its role in cell wall remodelling and immune evasion via the release of EPA-containing fragments.

This study determines the structure of the Enterococcal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA) from E. faecalis and explores its role in immune evasion and phage susceptibility.

This study develops an in vitro assay to investigate how EPA decorations on E. faecalis affect phagocytosis, showing that decoration deletion increases phagocytosis and that lipoproteins are not involved.
