Abstract
Type I lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a glycerolphosphate polymer found in the cell envelope of diverse Gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Listeria monocytogenes. The polymer is linked by a lipid anchor to the outer leaflet of the bacterial membrane and in some bacteria can also be shed and detected in the culture supernatant. Here, we describe a simple and rapid western blot method for the detection of Type I LTA in bacterial cell extracts and culture supernatant fractions using a polyglycerolphosphatespecific monoclonal LTA antibody.
