О-антиген

Azospirillum can directly or indirectly stimulate growth of plants and improve yield of at least several plant species. Structural distinctions LPS O-antigen determinate antigen variations Azospirillum species. Thirty eight strains of Azospirillum were screening. The fact that most research strains demonstrated cross-reactions with model strains underlie the division into three serotypes, including eight serovariants. Seven strains demonstrated cross-reactions only with genus-specific antibodies and have been separated into individual group.

Cholera remains a global threat to public health. Even sporadic cases of importation of the infection cause significant socio-economic damage. In connection with the current situation, the development and improvement of modern safe chemical vaccines against cholera caused by V. cholerae O1 and O139 serogroups plays an important role in reducing the incidence, which is an important and promising direction of scientific research.
