[Modification of lipopolysaccharides as one of the ways of adaptation of pathogenic bacteria and their populations to biotic and abiotic environmental factors].

Abstract excerpt

The review is devoted to a problem of adaptive role of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) modification of pathogenic bacteria cells. The biological activity of LPS depends on their molecular conformation, which is determined by primary structure and charges of their molecules and can change through regulation of enzyme activity of LPS separate component synthesis. Regulation of gene expression, which determines LPS...
