The membrane phospholipids of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae as characterized by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry
Article Abstract:
Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry analysis of membrane phospholipids in Neisseria meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae reveals that phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol are the major components. Data indicate that shorter-chain fatty acids occur in 35 to 47% and 42 to 66% of the total phospholipids respectively.

gmhX, a novel gene required for the incorporation of L-glycero-D-manno-heptose into lipooligosaccharide in Neisseria meningitidis
Article Abstract:
Results indicate that while gmhX gene is associated with heptose biosynthesis genes in Helicobacter pylori and Synechocystis, in Neisseria meningitidis its product mediates incorporation of L-glycero-D-manno-heptose into lipooligosaccharide and heptose biosynthesis.

On-farm monitoring of mouse-invasive Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis and a model for its association with the production of contaminated eggs
Article Abstract:
Mice from henhouses were examined for the presence of salmonellae in spleens. Of 621 and 526 spleens cultured during the first and second years of collection, 25.0 and 17.9%, respectively, were positive for Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. Three overlapping populations were present. This pattern of infection was repeated when lipopolysaccharide (LPS) variants were employed to infect chicks, and the worst infections were associated with isolates producing high-molecular-weight LPS.
