Abstract excerpt
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) oligosaccharide epitopes are major virulence factors of Haemophilus influenzae. The structure of LPS glycoforms of H. influenzae type b strain Eagan containing a mutation in the gene lgtC is investigated. LgtC is involved in the biosynthesis of globoside trisaccharide [al...
