Precipitating antibody against lipopolysaccharide of Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans in human serum.
Approximately 6% of 50 tested human sera possessed precipitating antibody against lipopolysaccharide from Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans (Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans).
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of the nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae 2019 rfaE gene required for lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis.
The lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is an important factor in pathogenesis and virulence. In an attempt to elucidate the genes involved in LOS biosynthesis, we have cloned the rfaE gene from NTHi 2019 by complementing a Salmonella typhimurium rfaE mutant strain with an NTHi 2019 plasmid library. The rfaE mutant synthesizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) lacking ...
متن کاملHaemophilus parainfluenzae expresses diverse lipopolysaccharide O-antigens using ABC transporter and Wzy polymerase-dependent mechanisms
Lipopolysaccharide O-antigens are the basis of serotyping schemes for Gram negative bacteria and help to determine the nature of host-bacterial interactions. Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a normal commensal of humans but is also an occasional pathogen. The prevalence, diversity and biosynthesis of O-antigens were investigated in this species for the first time. 18/18 commensal H. parainfluenzae...
متن کاملIdentification of a bifunctional lipopolysaccharide sialyltransferase in Haemophilus influenzae: incorporation of disialic acid.
The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) can be substituted at various positions by N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac). LPS sialylation plays an important role in pathogenesis. The only LPS sialyltransferase characterized biochemically to date in H. influenzae is Lic3A, an alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase responsible for the addition of Neu5Ac to a lactose acceptor (H...
متن کاملAntigenic and phenotypic variations of Haemophilus influenzae type b lipopolysaccharide and their relationship to virulence.
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) strains NO100 and COL10 were found to produce bacteremia in infant rats at a much lower frequency than other Hib strains previously tested. These relatively avirulent strains were the only Hib strains among 200 clinical isolates examined to date which failed to react with two Hib lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). LPS analysis by ...
