... In bacteria, the synthesis of glycoconjugates takes place in the series of glycosylation reactions, in which carbohydrates are polymerized or attached to the proteins or lipids, by the action of glycosyltransferase enzymes (GTs). Interestingly, bacterial glycans frequently contain unique monosaccharides such as pseudaminic acid (Pse; Schirm et al., 2003), bacillosamine (Bac; Morrison and Imperiali, 2014), 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6trideoxygalactose (DATDG; Hartley et al., 2011), N-acetylfucosamine (FucNAc; Horzempa et al., 2008), legionaminic acid (Leg; Morrison and Imperiali, 2014), 3-deoxyd-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo; Lodowska et al., 2013), rhamnose (Rha; Mistou et al., 2016), and others (Chatterjee and Chaudhuri, 2003;Meeks et al., 2004;Tytgat and Lebeer, 2014; Figure 1A). These carbohydrates are presented in the glycan structures of several clinically relevant pathogens (for instance, Helicobacter pylori, Neisseria meningitidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, among others) and are often important for their virulence (Schirm et al., 2003;Horzempa et al., 2008;Hartley et al., 2011;Hopf et al., 2011;Clark et al., 2016). ...
