The serological properties of the O-antigen polysaccharide region of the lipopolysaccharides are used to differentiate E. coli strains into serogroups. In this study, we report the structure elucidation of the O-specific chain of E.

Bacteria from the genus are facultative human pathogens, primarily attacking the urinary tract and wounds. A total of 85 O serogroups have been identified so far among these bacilli. Bprz 86 was isolated from the fistula of a patient in Łódź, Poland.

Despite the broad potential applications of C-glycosides, facile synthetic methods remain scarce. Transforming glycosyltransferases with promiscuous or natural O-specific chemoselectivity to C-glycosyltransferases is challenging. Here, we employ rational directed evolution of the glycosyltransferase MiCGT to generate MiCGT-QDP and MiCGT-ATD mutants which either enhance C-glycosylation or switch to O-glycosylation, respectively.

Asaia bogorensis is a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from flowers and fruits growing in tropical climate, reproductive system of mosquitoes, and rarely from immunocompromised patients. In Europe, A. bogorensis is responsible for the contamination of flavoured mineral waters.

In this study, we sought to determine whether the O-specific polysaccharide (OPS) antigen, a vaccine candidate, is immunogenic in humans with Kpn bloodstream infection (BSI). We also sought to define the cross-reactivity of human antibody responses among structurally related Kpn OPS subtypes and to assess the impact of capsule production on OPS-targeted antibody binding and function.
