Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen that produces a range
of infections including cellulitis, pneumonia, and septicemia. The principle
mechanism in antistaphylococcal host defense is opsonization with antibodies and
complement proteins, followed by phagocytic clearance. Here we use a previously
developed technique for installing chemical epitopes in the peptidoglycan cell
wall to show that surface glycopolymers known as wall teichoic acids conceal cell
wall epitopes, preventing their recognition and opsonization by antibodies. Thus,
our results reveal a previously unrecognized immunoevasive role for wall teichoic
acids in S. aureus: repulsion of peptidoglycan-targeted antibodies.
