The Caenorhabditis elegans bus-2 mutant reveals a new class of O-glycans affecting bacterial resistance.
Microbacterium nematophilum causes a deleterious infection of the C. elegans hindgut initiated by adhesion to rectal and anal cuticle. C. elegans bus-2 mutants, which are resistant to M. nematophilum and also to the formation of surface biofilms by Yersinia sp., carry genetic lesions in a putative g...
