Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To use random mutagenesis for the characterization of Legionella pneumophila lipopolysaccharide (LPS) components and serotypes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Five strains belonging to different serogroups and/or monoclonal subgroups were mutagenized using a mini-Tn10 transposon. Exactly 11 819 mutants were checked for alterations in LPS using at least 11 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that define L. pneumophila...
