Genetic control of Group 3 (K96) capsule synthesis and complement resistance in an extraintestinal pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> ST69 strain

2025-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) often produce capsules belonging to Groups 2 or 3, which contribute to invasive disease in humans and other animals. Group 3 capsule loci contain conserved kps genes flanking serotype-specific glycosyltransferase and nucleotide-sugar biosynthesis genes, but little is known about genetic factors that control synthesis, or the specific roles that K96 capsules pla...
