Identification and characterization of the N-acetylglucosamine glycosyltransferase gene of Haemophilus ducreyi.

Infection and immunity - 1 Oct 2002

Abstract excerpt

Haemophilus ducreyi is the causative agent of chancroid, a sexually transmitted ulcerative disease. In the present study, the Neisseria gonorrhoeae lgtA lipooligosaccharide glycosyltransferase gene was used to identify a homologue in the genome of H. ducreyi. The putative H. ducreyi glycosyltransferase gene (designated lgtA) was cloned and insertionally inactivated, and an isogenic mutant was constructed....
