Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are ubiquitous molecules that are prominent components of the outer membranes of most gram-negative bacteria. Genetic and structural characterizations of Francisella LPS have revealed substantial differences when compared to more commonly studied LPSs of the Enterobacteriaceae. This review discusses both the general characteristics and the unusual features of Francisella LPS.
细菌脂多糖(LPS)是普遍存在的分子,是大多数革兰氏阴性菌外膜的主要组成部分。与更常见的肠杆菌科 LPS 相比,弗朗西斯菌 LPS 的遗传和结构特征存在显著差异。本文讨论了弗朗西斯菌 LPS 的一般特征和独特特征。
