Lipopolysaccharide O-antigen delays plant innate immune recognition of Xylella fastidiosa

Many pathogenic bacteria have evolved to subvert host immune responses triggered by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Here the authors show that a long terminal polysaccharide chain, known as the O-antigen, present in LPS from the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa can delay recognition by grapevine hosts.
