A crucial role for exopolysaccharide modification in bacterial biofilm formation, immune evasion, and virulence.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 24 Dec 2004

Abstract excerpt

Biofilms play an important role in many chronic bacterial infections. Production of an extracellular mixture of sugar polymers called exopolysaccharide is characteristic and critical for biofilm formation. However, there is limited information about the mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis and...
