| Table 3: LOS Biosynthesis cluster analysis. A). Cluster types can be differentiated
based on the presence of ORFs within the genome. C. jejuni strains 11168 and 81-
176 were known due to the availability of genome sequences and were confirmed
by PCR to be class C and A/B respectively. Strain 224 was found to be class R. B).
Biosynthesis clusters capable of ganalioside molecular mimicry through production
of sialylated LOS. |
