Abstract excerpt
The major component of the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The outermost domain of LPS is a polysaccharide called O antigen. Pseudomonas aeruginosa establishes biofilms on wet surfaces in a wide range of habitats and mutations in O-antige...
