Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is hypothesized to colonize through the interaction with collagen and establish a reservoir for further dissemination. The trimeric adhesin EmaA of A. actinomycetemcomitans binds to collagen and is modified with sugars mediated by an O-antigen polysaccharide ligase (WaaL)

In the low-G+C-content Gram-positive bacteria, resistance to antimicrobial peptides is often mediated by so-called resistance modules. These consist of a two-component system and an ATP-binding cassette transporter and are characterized by an unusual mode of signal transduction where the transporter
