Analysis of the lipopolysaccharide-mediated function of Salmonella adhesins in the presence of bacteriophages

Gram-negative bacteria are major pathogens to combat, especially as already resistances to last resort antibiotics of the carbapenem class have occurred. Their outer membrane consists of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-phospholipid heterobilayer. Bacteriophages can use LPS as receptor that triggers pa...
