Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipid A diversity and its recognition by Toll-like receptor 4
2003-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Lipid A is the pro-inflammatory component of bacterial lipopolysaccharide, the major surface component of Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria alter the structure of lipid A in response to specific environmental conditions including those found upon colonization of a host.
