Abstract
Diseases caused by multi drug resistant Gram-negative bacterial strains such as Enterobacteriaceae members (Salmonella, Pseudomonas & Klebsiella) claim millions of lives every year. One of the major virulence determinants of these bacteria are the polymeric surface antigens like capsular polysaccharides (CPS), exopolysaccharides (EPS) & lipopolysaccharides (LPS). A detailed understanding of these surface antigens is essential to develop drugs against bacterial infections. However, this is made difficult by the large variety of surface antigens that have been discovered to date.
