General Information Comment Organism
physiological function a loss-of-expression mutant of lpxD is defective for biofilm formation on biotic and abiotic surfaces. The mutant strain exhibits significantly decreased bacterial attachment to cultured airway epithelial cells, as well as increased bacterial cytotoxicity toward airway cells. Airway cells incubated with the lpxD mutant or with mutant lipid A extracts exhibit decreased IL-8 production and necrosis, respectively Pseudomonas aeruginosa
