Extended Data Fig. 1: Phage adsorption assay confirms presence of the RboP-WTA phage receptor on tarIJLM2-positive S. epidermidis isolates.

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

Extended Data Fig. 1

The binding rate of RboP-WTA specific phage Φ11 (a, c, d, e) and of GroP-WTA specific Φ187 (b) to the indicated strains is shown. RP62A, ATCC12228, and 1457 are S. epidermidis laboratory strains (light gray), only expressing GroP-WTA. S. aureus strains RN4220 or PS187 (dark gray) express RboP-WTA or GroP-WTA, respectively. Means ± s.d. of three independent experiments are shown. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-test (two-sided) was used to analyze significant differences vs. mutant in (d) and (e). Unpaired t-test was used to analyze significant differences between wt and the hybrid strain in (c).
