The effects of Escherichia coli capsule, O-antigen, host neutrophils, and complement in a rat model of Gram-negative pneumonia

Gram-negative enteric bacilli are agents of life-threatening pneumonia. The role of the bacterial capsule and O-antigen moiety of lipopolysaccharide in the pathogenesis of Gram-negative pneumonia was assessed. In a rat model of pneumonia the LD 50 of a wild-type extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichi...
