Genome diversity at the serA-linked capsule locus in Escherichia coli.

FEMS microbiology letters - 15 Dec 1992

Boulnois G, Drake R, Pearce R, Roberts I

Abstract excerpt

Individual isolates of Escherichia coli synthesize one of more than 70 chemically distinct polysaccharides which form the capsule. In this article we review the genetics of capsule production in E. coli and highlight what this is beginning to reveal in terms of the genetic basis of the structural diversity of polysaccharides. The serA-linked capsule locus can take three different allelic forms. Two of these are...
