Exchange of Lipooligosaccharide Synthesis Genes Creates Potential Guillain-Barré Syndrome-Inducible Strains of Campylobacter jejuni

Human ganglioside-like structures, such as GM1, found on some Campylobacter jejuni strains have been linked to inducing the Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). This study shows that a C. jejuni strain without GM1-like molecules acquired large DNA fragments, including lipooligosaccharide synthesis genes,...
