The O side chain (O antigen) of the lipopolysaccharide of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 has been shown to be a virulence factor. The genes directing the biosynthesis of the O antigen have been cloned, sequenced and characterized. Like the expression of most of the virulence factors of Y. enterocolitica, O-antigen expression is temperature regulated.
小肠结肠炎耶尔森氏菌O:3血清型脂多糖的O侧链(O抗原)已被证明是一种毒力因子。指导O抗原生物合成的基因已被克隆、测序和表征。与小肠结肠炎耶尔森氏菌大多数毒力因子的表达一样,O抗原的表达受温度调节。
