title: Heterogeneity of lipopolysaccharide phenotype among Salmonella typhi strains.
abstract: Comparison of the Vi antigen, lipopolysaccharide, and protein components of the cell surface of three strains of Salmonella typhi showed that differences in lipopolysaccharide contributed most to distinctions in serum survival, whereas differences in Vi antigen content had no apparent effect.
