The genetic and molecular basis of O-antigenic diversity in Burkholderia pseudomallei lipopolysaccharide.

The genetic and molecular basis of O-antigenic diversity in Burkholderia pseudomallei lipopolysaccharide.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is one of the most important virulence and antigenic components of Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis. LPS diversity in B. pseudomallei has been described as typical, atypical or rough, based upon banding patterns on SDS-PAGE. Here, we studied the...
