The group A O antigen is the major surface polysaccharide of Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A (SPA), and the focal point for most current vaccine development efforts. The SPA O-antigen repeat (O unit) is structurally similar to the group D1 O unit of S. enterica serovar Typhi, differing only in the presence of a terminal side-branch paratose (Par) in place of tyvelose (Tyv), both of which are attached by the glycosyltransferase WbaV. The two O-antigen gene clusters are also highly similar, but with a loss-of-function mutation in the group A tyv gene and the tandem amplification of wbaV in most SPA strains. In this study, we show that SPA strains consistently produce less O antigen than their group D1 counterparts and use an artificial group A strain (D1 Deltatyv) to show this is due to inefficient Par attachment by WbaV. We also demonstrate that group A O-antigen production can be increased by overexpression of the wbaV gene in both the D1 Deltatyv strain and two multi-wbaV SPA strains. These findings should be broadly applicable in ongoing vaccine development pipelines, where efficient isolation and purification of large quantities of O antigen is of critical importance
