We isolated lipopolysaccharide and capsular polysaccharide (K antigen)-defective mutants from two Klebsiella pneumoniae parental strains, and compared their ability to colonize in vivo the germfree chicken gut. The high-molecular weight lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (O antigen) was found necessary for the colonization while the capsular polysaccharide (K2 or K29) was not of importance.
我们从两株肺炎克雷伯菌亲本菌株中分离出脂多糖和荚膜多糖(K抗原)缺陷型突变体,并比较了它们在无菌鸡肠道内定殖的能力。发现高分子量脂多糖(LPS)(O抗原)对于定殖是必需的,而荚膜多糖(K2或K29)并不重要。
