Phage-receptor on the cell wall of Veillonella rodentium.
Veillonellophage N2 prevented from adsorbing to Veillonella rodentium ATCC 17743 cells treated with polymyxin B, and also to lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of the host cells treated with antibiotics. Therefore, these results indicate that receptor to phage N2 is cell wall LPSs. The LPSs of V. rodentium ATCC 17743 cells as receptor were characterized. Lipid A and total carbohydrate accounted for approximately 40% of the weight of the lipopolysaccharide complex. Heptose and 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate were also present. Amino compounds included glucosamine, galactosamine, and glycine.
