Antimicrobial action of nisin against Salmonella typhimurium lipopolysaccharide mutants.
The antimicrobial activity of nisin against outer membrane lipopolysaccharide mutants of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 was investigated. Nisin sensitivity was associated with the extent of saccharide deletions from the outer membrane core oligosaccharide. The results indicated that the core oligosaccharide in lipopolysaccharide plays a role in nisin sensitivity.
