Laboratory and clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains do not bind glycosphingolipids in vitro or during type IV pili-mediated initial host cell attachment
Abstract
The glycosphingolipids (GSLs) gangliotriaosylceramide (Gg(3)) and gangliotetraosylceramide (Gg(4)) have been implicated as receptors for type IV pili (T4P)-mediated Pseudomonas aeruginosa epithelial cell attachment. Since P. aeruginosa T4P are divided into five groups, the authors determined whether GSLs in general, and Gg(3) and Gg(4) in particular, are specifically bound and required for host epithelial cell attachment of clinical and …
