Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia pseudomallei, an intracellular pathogen, is responsible for melioidosis, a zoonotic disease. Its pathogenesis involves several virulence factors, among which lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays a crucial role. Our research reveals that the O antigen present within the LPS significantly regulates the host immune response. In a previous study, we obtained a B. pseudomallei mutant strain ΔwbiI. Here, the...
