[edit] Surface Characteristics
The Streptococcus faecium 9790's surface LTAs are amphiphiles composed of a membrane lipid or glycolipid which is covalently linked to a linear chain of 15 to 30 polyglycerophosphate (PGP) units.
[edit] Pathogenic Activity
It can be a commensal (non-harmful coexisting organism), in the human intestine, but it may also be a pathogen -- causing diseases like neonatal meningitis.
