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
Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) is anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a lipid anchor
Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) generally possess a comparable structure to [Wall Teichoic Acids (WTAs)](brain://nVplY…
