Lex2B, a phase-variable glycosyltransferase, adds either a glucose or a galactose to Haemophilus influenzae lipopolysaccharide.

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae is a commensal that frequently causes otitis media and respiratory tract infections. The lex2 locus encodes a glycosyltransferase that is phase variably expressed and contributes to the significant intrastrain heterogeneity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) composition i...
