Characterisation of the core part of the lipopolysaccharide O-antigen of Francisella novicida (U112) Original Research Article

Francisella novicida (U112), a close relative of the highly virulent bacterium F. tularensis, is known to produce a lipopolysaccharide that is significantly different in biological properties from the LPS of F. tularensis. Here we present the results of the structural analysis of the F. novicida LPS core part, which is found
