Abstract	Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi causes typhoid fever in humans. Central to the pathogenicity of serovar Typhi is its capacity to invade intestinal epithelial cells. The role of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the invasion process of serovar Typhi is unclear. In this work, we constructed a series of mutants with defined deletions in genes for the synthesis and polymerization of the O antigen (wbaP, wzy, and wzz) and the assembly of the outer core (waaK, waaJ, waaI, waaB, and waaG). The abilities of each mutant to associate with and enter HEp-2 cells and the importance of the O antigen in serum resistance of serovar Typhi were investigated. We demonstrate here that the presence and proper chain length distribution of the O-antigen polysaccharide are essential for serum resistance but not for invasion of epithelial cells. In contrast, the outer core oligosaccharide structure is required for serovar Typhi internalization in HEp-2 cells. We also show that the outer core terminal glucose residue (Glc II) is necessary for efficient entry of serovar Typhi into epithelial cells. The Glc I residue, when it becomes terminal due to a polar insertion in the waaB gene affecting the assembly of the remaining outer core residues, can partially substitute for Glc II to mediate bacterial entry into epithelial cells. Therefore, we conclude that a terminal glucose in the LPS core is a critical residue for bacterial recognition and internalization by epithelial cells.
