Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a cell-wall component of Gram-negative bacteria which
contributes to bacterial toxicity. During processes such as cell division, shedding of outer …

Cytolytic proteins and peptide toxins are classical virulence factors of several bacterial
pathogens which disrupt epithelial barrier function, damage cells and activate or modulate …

Intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensing by the noncanonical inflammasome
comprising caspase-4 or-11 governs antibacterial host defense. How LPS gains intracellular …

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) represents a major virulence factor of Gram‐negative bacteria
('endotoxin') that can cause septic shock in mammals including man. The lipid anchor of LPS …

Some mammalian species show an ability to discriminate between different
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) partial structures (for example, lipid A and its congener LA-14-PP …

Bacteria have evolved elaborate communication strategies to co‐ordinate their group
activities, a process termed quorum sensing (QS). Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an …

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) has a concentration-dependent dual
role in the pathogenesis of gram-negative sepsis: low concentrations of LBP enhance the …
