Biosynthesis of cryptic lipopolysaccharide glycoforms in Haemophilus influenzae involves a mechanism similar to that required for O-antigen synthesis.
It is generally thought that mucosal bacterial pathogens of the genera Haemophilus, Neisseria, and Moraxella elaborate lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that is fundamentally different from that of enteric organisms that express O-specific polysaccharide side chains. Haemophilus influenzae elaborates short-c...
