Abstract excerpt

The O-antigen is one of the most variable Gram-negative cell constituents, and its specificity is important for bacterial niche adaptation. The observed diversity of O-antigen forms is mainly due to genetic variations in O-antigen gene clusters. Less common is a change of gene function due to nucleotide substitution; a new instance of which is reported here. The O-antigens of E. coli O107 and O117 have similar...
