ABSTRACT The lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae plays key roles in pathogenesis and is composed of multiple possible glycoforms. These glycoforms are generated by the process of phase variation and by differences in the glycosyltransferase gene content of particular strains. LOS glyc...
