Identification of two genes, kpsM and kpsT, in region 3 of the polysialic acid gene cluster of Escherichia coli K1.

The polysialic acid capsule of Escherichia coli K1, a causative agent of neonatal septicemia and meningitis, is an essential virulence determinant. The 17-kb kps gene cluster, which is divided into three functionally distinct regions, encodes proteins necessary for polymer synthesis and expression a...
