Abstract
Novel nucleic acid molecules encoding proteins involved in the synthesis and assembly of core lipopolysaccharide in P. aeruginosa; and novel proteins encoded by the nucleic acid molecules are described. Methods are disclosed for detecting P.aeruginosa in a sample by determining the presence of the proteins or a nucleic acid molecule encoding the proteins in the sample.
Claims4
A purified and isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein involved in the synthesis and assembly of core lipopolysaccharide in P. aeruginosa which comprises
- (a) a nucleic acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 1, wherein T can also be
- (b) a nucleic acid sequence fully complementary to the sequence as claimed in (a);
- or
- (c) a nucleic acid molecule differing from the nucleic acid sequence as claimed in (a) or (b) in codon sequences due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
