In many Gram‐negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and its lipid A moiety are pivotal
for bacterial survival. Depending on its structure, lipid A carries the toxic properties of the …

The focus of this review is the application of mass spectrometry to the structural
characterization of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), also referred to as “endotoxins,” …

Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and lipooligosaccharides (LOSs) are major components of the
cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria with diverse roles in bacterial pathogenesis of …

Detailed structural characterization of intact rough-type lipopolysaccharides (R-LPS) was
accomplished using a multi-stage mass spectrometry (MS3) strategy consisting of collision …

One common mechanism of resistance against antimicrobial peptides in Gram‐negative
bacteria is the addition of 4‐amino‐4‐deoxy‐l‐arabinose (l‐Ara4N) to the …

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is one of the most extensively studied symbionts of the human
gut. Despite its widespread distribution among human populations, still very little is known …

ABSTRACT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a cell-associated glycolipid that makes up the outer
leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, is a canonical mediator of microbe …

The purification and characterization of Gram-negative bacterial lipid A is tedious and time-
consuming. Herein we report a rapid and sensitive method to identify lipid A directly on intact …

The alarming rise of antibiotic resistance and the emergence of new vaccine technologies
have increased the focus on vaccination to control gonorrhea. Neisseria gonorrhoeae …

This review is the fourth update of the original review, published in 1999, on the application
of MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and …
