Serogroup C1 (0:6,7) Salmonella

[edit] Basic Structure

LPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-β-D-Manp-(1-->2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-D-Glcp-(1-->3)] -(1-->2)-α-D-Manp-(1-->2)-α-D-Manp-(1-->3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1-


[edit] Proposed functions

LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties
