Identification of a divergent O-acetyltransferase gene oac1b from Shigella flexneri serotype 1b strains

Identification of a divergent O-acetyltransferase gene oac1b from Shigella flexneri serotype 1b strains

Shigella flexneri is a leading cause of bacterial dysentery in developing countries. Among the 15 known serotypes, four (1b, 3a, 3b and 4b) contain a group 6 epitope due to an acetyl group connected to the O-2 position of rhamnose III on the tetrasaccharide structure of the lipopolysaccharide. O-ace...
