A Novel Regulation of K-antigen Capsule Synthesis in Porphyromonas gingivalis Is Driven by the Response Regulator PG0720-Directed Antisense RNA

A Novel Regulation of K-antigen Capsule Synthesis in Porphyromonas gingivalis Is Driven by the Response Regulator PG0720-Directed Antisense RNA

The periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis strain W83 displays at least three different surface glycans, specifically two types of lipopolysaccharides (O-LPS and A-LPS) and K-antigen capsule. Despite the importance of K-antigen capsule to the virulence of P. gingivalis, little is known as to...
