Description Vibrio cholerae mutants resistant to common antibiotics and neutral and anionic
detergents were isolated. Analysis of isolated outer membranes revealed a sionificant
deficiency in the acylation of lipid A in the resistant strains. The contknt
of amide-linked and ester-bound fatty acids in the lipid A of the mutant strains
compared to that of the wild type was about 50-56% and 29-37% respectively.
This defect was specific for lipid A as there was no change in the acylation of
phospholipids. The reduction in fatty acid content of lipid A was reflected in
the altered endotoxic properties in the mutant strains.
