Characterization of the Escherichia coli O59 and O155 O-antigen gene clusters: The atypical wzx genes are evolutionary related

TL;DR: Comparison of the region between gnd and hisI revealed that the wzx and acetyltransferase genes are closely related between E. coli O59 and O155, indicating that the two gene clusters arose recently from a common ancestor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and genetic characterization of the closely related O-antigens of Escherichia coli O85 and Salmonella enterica O17.

TL;DR: A previously undefined pair of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica with closely related O-antigens is reported on, which can be used for development of PCR-based assays for identification and detection of E. coli O85 strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and molecular characterization of Shigella boydii type 16 O antigen.

TL;DR: The O antigen gene cluster of S. boydii type 16 was identified and shown to contain putative genes for the synthesis of GDP-D-Man, genes encoding sugar transferases, O unit flippase and O antigen polymerase as expected, and the function of the wzy gene was characterized by mutation test.
