Abstract excerpt
Salmonella typhimurium strain 3333/O was used to assess the role of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in intestinal colonization of broiler chicks by salmonellae. LPS-defective TnPhoA mutants of this strain were isolated. The sensitivities of the mutants to smooth and rough phages and LPS banding patterns in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated a defect in the polysaccharide side...
