dc.description.abstract	The O—antigens of Salmonella serogroups A, B and D differ structurally in their side-chain sugar residue. The genes encoding 0antigen biosynthesis are clustered in the rfb operon. This thesis describes the molecular cloning and analysis of the rfb genes from S. paratyphi A IMVSl316 (serogroup A) and S. typhi Ty21a (serogroup D). The rfb gene cluster from S. Typhimurium LT2 (serogroup B) has also been studied in our laboratory (Brahmbhatt et al 1986, 1988; P. Wyk, Ph.D. thesis, Univ. of Adelaide, 1988). The genetic basis of O-antigen variation in serogroups A, B and D of Salmonella is dscussed.	en
