  • Description: <p>The sequence of the virulence factor LecB differs significantly between the evolutionarily diverged PAO1- or PA14-like strains and can serve as marker for strain classification. Despite these variations, its comparable ligand selectivity makes LecB a highly promising target for anti-virulence therapy.</p>
