Data detailed in 'GDP-perosamine synthase: structural analysis and production of a novel trideoxysugar' have been presented. According to recent research from the United States, "Perosamine or 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-d-mannose is an unusual sugar found in the O-antigens of some Gram-negative bacteria such as Vibrio cholerae O1 (the causative agent of cholera) or Escherichia coli O157:H7 (the leading cause of food-borne illnesses).
