This review presents the salient features of the biological functions including the (i)
endotoxic activities,(ii) antigenic properties,(iii) immunological responses to and (iv) phage …

The suckling mouse has been used as a model to identify Vibrio cholerae intestinal
colonization factors for over two decades, yet little is known about the location of recoverable …

An account of our up to date knowledge of the genetics of biosynthesis of Vibrio cholerae
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is presented in this review. While not much information is available …

Vibrio cholerae is divided into more than 130 O serogroups; however, only organisms of the
O1 serogroup have so far been associated with cholera in humans. V. cholerae O1 strains of …

The rfb gene cluster of Yersinia enterocolitica O: 3, responsible for the biosynthesis of the O
side chain, was previously cloned, and a Y. enterocolitica O: 3 side chain-specific …

Bacteriophage K139 was recently characterized as a temperate phage of O1 Vibrio
cholerae. In this study we have determined the phage adsorption site on the bacterial cell …

The recent emergence of a pathogenic new non-O1 serotype (O139) of Vibrio cholerae has
led to numerous studies in an attempt to identify the origins of this new strain. Our studies …

The genes of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O: 3 (YeO3) that determine the synthesis of the
O-side-chain of the lipopolysaccharide, the rfb region, were cloned into plasmid pBR322 …

The toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) of Vibrio cholerae is essential for colonization. It was
recently reported that rfb mutations in V. cholerae 569B cause the translocation arrest of the …

The first four genes (rfbA, B, D, E) of the rfb region of Vibrio cholerae O1 are predicted to
encode the enzymes required for the biosynthesis of perosamine, which constitutes the …
