title: Conserved and variable structural features in the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
abstract: The review is devoted to recent progress in the structural elucidation of the lipopolysaccharide of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including O-antigen biological repeats, core oligosaccharide, and lipid A. Data on biosynthesis, genetics and serology of the lipopolysaccharide isolated from various P. aeruginosa O-serogroups are discussed in relation to the chemical structures.
