Capsular Polysaccharide Is a Major Complement Resistance Factor in Lipopolysaccharide O Side Chain-Deficient <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Clinical Isolates

1 Feb 2000

Abstract excerpt

We have previously demonstrated the existence of Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates deficient in the lipopolysaccharide O side chain, the major factor for resistance to complement-mediated killing in this bacterial species. These isolates are complement resistant, and their mechanisms to resist complement were investigated by selecting transposon-generated complement-sensitive mutants. One mutant with a...
