Immunochemical analysis of the teichoic acid from Staphylococcus hyicus.
The wall teichoic acid of Staphylococcus hyicus has been isolated and characterized. The teichoic acid is a glycerol phosphate polymer with glycosidically linked N-acetylglucosamine. Interaction with concanavalin A and susceptibility to alpha- but not to beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase showed that the sugar is in the alpha-configuration.
