Extended Data Fig. 6: The gene cluster tarIJLM3 and tarIJLM4 lead to RboP-WTA synthesis in HA-MRSE ST2 and ST5 strains.

From: Staphylococcus epidermidis clones express Staphylococcus aureus-type wall teichoic acid to shift from a commensal to pathogen lifestyle

Extended Data Fig. 6

a, The tested tarIJLM3-positive (DAR1907 and RJ8, both ST2) and tarIJLM4-positive S. epidermidis strains (US06, ST5) contain both, GroP (blue lines, [M + H]+ = 173.022) and RboP (red line, [M + H]+ = 233.042) as WTA constituents; counts per second (CPS) measured by LC-MS are shown. b, Transduction with SaPIbov1 via Φ11. c, The binding rate of RboP-WTA-specific phage Φ11. d, The binding rate of GroP-WTA-specific phage Φ187. Means ± s.d. of three independent experiments are shown in (b-d).
