Surface anchoring of the <i>Kingella kingae</i> galactan is dependent on the lipopolysaccharide O-antigen

2022-06-13

Abstract excerpt

Kingella kingae is a leading cause of bone and joint infections and other invasive diseases in young children. A key K. kingae virulence determinant is a secreted exopolysaccharide that mediates resistance to serum complement and neutrophils and is required for full pathogenicity. The K. kingae exopolysaccharide is a galactofuranose homopolymer called galactan and is encoded by the pamABC genes in the pamABCDE...
