Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is routinely serotyped in Japan by using the Homma scheme. The serotypes (O serotypes) are based on the chemical structure of the O-polysaccharide portion of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, the nature of the Homma serotype M antigen has remained obscure because strains classified as serotype M usually have the rough phenotype. I characterized the target antigen of serotype M.
