Photorhabdus luminescens lectin A (PllA): A new probe for detecting α-galactoside–terminating glycoconjugates

Lectins play important roles in infections by pathogenic bacteria, for example, in host colonization, persistence, and biofilm formation. The Gram-negative entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens symbiotically lives in insect-infecting Heterorhabditis nematodes and kills the insect host...
