This study identifies gram-positive bacterial cell wall components, such as peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid, as inhibitors of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection in vitro and in a mouse model.

The paper identifies a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) pathway in Sphingomonas sp. LM7, showing it produces a unique linear polymer with 3- and 4-linked glucose, galactose, and glucuronic acid residues.
