Abstract excerpt
Francisella novicida is a gram-negative pathogen commonly used to study infections by the potential bioterrorism agent, Francisella tularensis. The Francisella lipid A structure has been well characterized and showed to affect the pathogenesis of F. novicida. Previous work characterized two lipid A acyltransferases, LpxD1 and LpxD2, and constructed the lpxD1-null and lpxD2-null mutants. Mutational analysis showed...
