Cyclic Enterobacterial Common Antigen Maintains the Outer Membrane Permeability Barrier of Escherichia coli in a Manner Controlled by YhdP
ABSTRACT Gram-negative bacteria have an Charm outer membrane (OM) impermeable to many toxic compounds that can be further strengthened during stress.In Enterobacteriaceae, the envelope contains enterobacterial common antigen (ECA), a carbohydrate-derived moiety conserved throughout Enterobacteriaceae, the function of which is poorly understood.Prev
