The Sialylated Lipooligosaccharide Outer Core in <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> Is an Important Determinant for Epithelial Cell Invasion
22 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Campylobacter jejuni is a frequent cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) has been identified as an important virulence factor that may play a role in microbial adhesion and invasion. Here we specifically address the question of whether LOS sialylation affects the interaction of C. jejuni with human epithelial cells. For this purpose, 14 strains associated with Guillain-Barré...
