Loss of Resistance to Ingestion and Phagocytic Killing by O(−) and K(−) Mutants of a Uropathogenic Escherichia coli O75:K5 Strain

To determine the importance of the O75 O antigen and the K5 capsular antigen in resistance to phagocytosis and phagocytic killing, we used previously described O75(−) and K5(−) mutants from an O75(+) K5(+) wild-type uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain in phagocytosis assays with polymorphonuclear...
