The first committed step in the biosynthesis of sialic acid by Escherichia coli K1 does not involve a phosphorylated N-acetylmannosamine intermediate.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 2003

Ringenberg Michael A, Steenbergen Susan M, Vimr Eric R

Abstract excerpt

A variety of pathogens or commensals use at least one of four distinct mechanisms for decorating their surfaces with sialic acid as a strategy to avoid, subvert or inhibit host innate immunity. The metabolism of sialic acid thus is central to a range of host-pathogen interactions. The first commi...
