Comparative immunochemistry of lipopolysaccharides from typable and polyagglutinable Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis.
TL;DR: The polyagglutinability of P. aeruginosa may be explained by the antibodies to these common determinants that arose from the partial absence of O polysaccharides.

Longitudinal study of antibody response to lipopolysaccharides during chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in cystic fibrosis.
TL;DR: It is concluded that anti-LPS response in cystic fibrosis patients during chronic P. aeruginosa infection demonstrates a marked increase in IgG anti-Pseudomonas LPS antibody concentration, specificity, and affinity.

Effects of Carbon Sources on Antibiotic Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
TL;DR: Growth on branched-chain amino acids gave mixed results which were dependent on a number of factors, including unique manifestations of individual amino acids, growth conditions, and availability of other carbon sources.
Relationship Between Chemical Composition and Biological Function of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Lipopolysaccharide: Effect on Human Neutrophil Chemotaxis and Oxidative Burst
TL;DR: It was shown that LPS from different strains did not exert the same degree of regulatory effect on neutrophil functions and chemical composition of the LPS molecule may play an important role in biological activity of LPS.

TL;DR: Microextraction methods, followed by PAGE and silver staining or immunoblotting, are easy and convenient techniques with which to study antibodies against LPS epitopes and to screen for LPS phenotypic appearance using only a few bacterial colonies from larger numbers of Gram‐negative bacterial strains.
