Analysis of a gene cluster of Enterococcus faecalis involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis.

Infection and immunity - 1 Feb 2000

Xu Y, Singh K V, Qin X, Murray B E, Weinstock G M

Abstract excerpt

Previously, we described a gene cluster of Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF that produced an antigenic polysaccharide when cloned in Escherichia coli. The polysaccharide antigen was not detectable in E. faecalis strains, however. Here, we show by reverse transcriptase-PCR that the 16 genes in this reg...
