title: A high molecular weight lipopolysaccharide specific bacteriophage for Klebsiella pneumoniae.
abstract: High-molecular weight lipopolysaccharide (O antigen enriched fraction) from Klebsiella pneumoniae was determined to be the receptor for bacteriophage FC3-1. A methodology for the identification of the lipopolysaccharide component involved in FC3-1 bacteriophage reception was used that is suitable for other phages and host bacteria.
