Brief description Shigellosis caused by Shigella flexneri is a medically significant disease in developing countries. Serotypes of S. flexneri are determined by bacterial cell-surface polysaccharides called O-antigens. Bacterial viruses carry the genes which confer O-antigen modification giving rise to different serotypes. The project will address fundamental processes related to the O-antigen modification by studying structure and function of the enzymes encoded by the O-antigen modification gene cluster.
