This study identifies EpaU as an autolysin that binds the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen and modulates c-di-AMP signaling, affecting antibiotic resistance and cell turgor in Enterococcus faecalis.

This study identifies a conserved glycan motif in Streptococcus suis that elicits broadly reactive antibodies, suggesting it as a target for next-generation vaccines.

The paper identifies glycosylation of serine/threonine-rich IDRs in streptococcal membrane proteins and shows its role in biofilm formation.

This study identifies the structure and biosynthesis mechanism of Streptococcus mutans cell wall polysaccharide, revealing key modifications and their roles in bacterial morphology and biofilm formation.
