Very long O-antigen chains enhance fitness during Salmonella-induced colitis by increasing bile resistance.

Very long O-antigen chains enhance fitness during Salmonella-induced colitis by increasing bile resistance.

Intestinal inflammation changes the luminal habitat for microbes through mechanisms that have not been fully resolved. We noticed that the FepE regulator of very long O-antigen chain assembly in the enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) conferred a luminal fitnes...
