Introduction
Bacterial pathogens display proteins on their surface that may interact with their hosts in order to mount successful infections. Although the primary function of the peptidoglycan is to provide a physical barrier for protection against both mechanical and osmotic stresses, it also serves as a scaffold to anchor external structures such as the outer cell membrane in Escherichia coli. Over the past 20 years, it has become apparent that Gram-positive bacteria have evolved a variety
of unique by which proteins are displayed on the cell surface (Tat and Sec transporter for example).
