Identification of a chromosomal region possibly involved in O-side chain biosynthesis in Brucella abortus

The gram-negative bacterial pathogen Brucella abortus is a zoonotic pathogen causing brucellosis in a variety of animal species including humans. The loss of the O-side chain in the lipopolysaccharide of the outer membrane decreases Brucella virulence. To understand the genetics of O-side chain bios...
