Phage-encoded enzymes found in Acinetobacter baumannii convert pseudaminic acid to 8-epipseudaminic acid

Abstract The nonulosonic acid 8-epipseudaminic acid was discovered only recently in two Acinetobacter baumannii strains but the genes responsible for conversion of pseudaminic acid to its 8-epimer were not found at the K locus. Here, we use a pan-genome approach to identify a pair of carbohydrate bi...
