Abstract excerpt
The influence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) expression on the sensitivity of Neisseria meningitidis to serum bactericidal activity was investigated by using a series of variants that expressed different LPS determinants. For each of two different strains, a series of three LPS variants that express...
