Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect LPS mutants show reduced antimicrobial resistance
- Intervention effect Absence of O-antigen components did not affect expression of major virulence factors
- Intervention effect LPS core defects significantly impaired bacterial multiplication in planta, proteolytic activity and motility, progressively with greater truncations
- Intervention effect Gene overexpression failed to restore mutant phenotypes to wild-type levels
- Intervention effect LPS core truncation disrupted PrtF localization in the outer membrane
- Observation RfaH activates a large gene cluster directly involved in O-antigen biosynthesis
- Observation RfaH is dispensable for virulence
- Mechanism The LPS core is critical for functional assembly of outer membrane apparatuses that contribute to virulence
