Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a significant component of the bacterial cell wall, primarily found in Gram-positive bacteria. It is categorized as a MAMP / PAMP, which is a type of bacterial cell-wall macroamphiphile. LTAs are recognized by host pattern-recognition receptors, notably TLR2/6 and CD14, alongside other molecules such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), lipoproteins, and mycobacterial lipoglycans (1)
