Genetic exchange of determinants for capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis between Klebsiella pneumoniae strains expressing serotypes K2 and K21a.

The production of a capsular polysaccharide (CPS; K antigen) is characteristic of Klebsiella pneumoniae, but CPS structure varies among strains, and many different serotypes are now known. In this study, cps gene clusters encoding the elements of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis were exchanged b...
