      Bravo Rodríguez, Denisse; Silva Valenzuela, Cecilia Alejandra; Carter Jaña, Javier Antonio; Hoare Teuche, Anilei Paz; Álvarez Armijo, Sergio Aníbal; Blondel, Carlos; Zaldívar San Román, María Mercedes; Valvano, Miguel A.; Contreras, Inés (SOC GENERAL MICROBIOLOGYJournal Of Medical Microbiology, vol. 57 Issue 8 p. 938-946 AUG 2008, 2008-08)
      The amount of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O antigen (OAg) and its chain length distribution are important factors that protect bacteria from serum complement. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi produces LPS with long chain ...
    • O-antigen modal chain length in Shigella flexneri 2a is growth-regulated through RfaH-mediated transcriptional ... 
      Carter Jaña, Javier Antonio; Blondel, Carlos; Zaldívar San Román, María Mercedes; Álvarez Armijo, Sergio Aníbal; Marolda, Cristina L.; Valvano, Miguel A.; Contreras, Inés (SOC GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY, 2007-10)
      Shigella flexneri 2a 2457T produces lipopolysaccharide (LIPS) with two O-antigen (OAg) chain lengths: a short (S-OAg) controlled by WzzB and a very long (VL-OAg) determined by Wzz(pHS-2). This study demonstrates that the ...
