Another well-studied bacterial toxin (endotoxin) that inﬂuences neuroinﬂammation is lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a outer cell wall component in Gram-positive bacteria with similar proinﬂammatory qualities (= driver of inflammation) as LPS
Huang et al. 2013 Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 269: 43-50
Howe et al. 2020 Int. Immunopharmacol. 85:106619

Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) is anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a lipid anchor
Shiraishi et al. 2016 Biosci Microbiota Food Health 35(4): 147-161

Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) generally possess a comparable structure to [Wall Teichoic Acids (WTAs)](brain://nVplY…
