Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharides (LPS) serve as primary receptors for many bacteriophages and, consequently, their biosynthesis is frequently affected in phage-resistant mutants. We previously isolated phage-resistant PAO1 mutants using three different phages, and showed that they were affected in the synthesis of LPS. Here we have investigated in detail the effect of mutations in seven genes involved...
