The pathogenicity of <i>Campylobacter concisus</i>, increasingly found in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is unclear. Some studies indicate that its role in GI conditions has been underestimated, whereas others suggest that the organism has a commensal-like phenotype. For the enteropathogen <i>C. jejuni</i>, the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is a main driver of virulence. We investigated the LOS structure of four <i>C. concisus</i> clinical isolates and correlated the inflammatory potential o ...[more]
