Oldfield, N. J., Moran, A. P., Millar, L. A., Prendergast, M. M., & Ketley, J. M. (2002). Characterization of the Campylobacter jejuni Heptosyltransferase II Gene, waaF, Provides Genetic Evidence that Extracellular Polysaccharide Is Lipid A Core Independent.

Campylobacter jejuni produces both lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and a higher-molecular-weight polysaccharide that is believed to form a capsule. The role of these surface polysaccharides in C jejuni-mediated enteric disease is unclear; however, epitopes...
