Structure and genetics of Escherichia coli O antigens. [PDF]
Escherichia coli includes clonal groups of both commensal and pathogenic strains, with some of the latter causing serious infectious diseases. O antigen variation is current standard in defining strains for taxonomy and epidemiology, providing the basis ...

Reinvestigation of the structure of Brucella O-antigens. [PDF]
O-Specific polysaccharides of Brucella contain two antigenic determinants, called A and M. Most of the strains express epitope A with a small amount of epitope M, whereas Brucella melitensis strain 16 M expresses longer polymer consisting mostly of M-type epitopes.

Antigenic Relationships Between Escherichia coli O Antigens O 149 to O 163 and Shigella O Antigens [PDF]
O antigens O 149 to O 163 are recent additions to the Escherichia coli antigenic scheme. Their antigenic relationships with Shigella serovars were examined. O antigen identity was demonstrated between E. coli O 149 and Shigella boydii 1 and between E. coli O 152 and provisional Shigella serovar 3341-55.

Systems Biology and Pangenome of Salmonella O-Antigens. [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharides are a major component of the outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria. They are composed of a conserved lipid structure that is embedded in the outer leaflet of the outer membrane and a polysaccharide known as the O-antigen.

Citrobacter O-antigens: structure of the O-antigenic polysaccharide from Citrobacter sp. 396 [PDF]
The structure of the O-specific polysaccharide moiety of the lipopolysaccharide from Citrobacter 396 was elucidated by composition, methylation, and periodate oxidation studies. The repeating unit consists of four 2-linked mannoses and one 3-linked N-acetylglucosamine.

USE OF SEROLOGICAL INTERACTIONS TO IDENTIFY THE TELEOMORPH OF OIDIUM LINI INVOLVED IN POWDERY MILDEW OF FLAX [PDF]
Two methods were used to identify the teleomorph of Oidium lini. In the first method, antiserum of flax infected with O. lini interacted against antigens of healthy plants (flax, okra, sunflower, tobacco, peas, alfalfa, and cocklebur).
