Digalactoside expression in the lipopolysaccharide of haemophilus influenzae and its role in intravascular survival
Digalactoside (gal-1-4 gal) structures of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Haemophilus influenzae are implicated in virulence. A confounding factor is that tetranucleotide repeats within the lic2A, lgtC, and lex2 genes mediate phase-variable expression of the digalactosides. By deleting these repeats...
