Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa coexpresses two distinct lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules known as A band and B band. B band is the serospecific LPS, while A band is the common LPS antigen composed of a D-rhamnose O-polysaccharide region. An operon containing eight genes responsible for A-band polysacch...
