The H-antigen in Salmonella typhi is associated with
The H-antigen in Salmonella typhi is associated with
Options
- ACapsule
- BFlagella
- CCell wall
- DCytoplasm
Correct answer
B. Flagella
Step-by-step solution
In Salmonella typhi, there are three main types of surface antigens:
1. O-antigen (Somatic antigen): It is associated with the cell wall (lipopolysaccharide).
2. H-antigen (Flagellar antigen): It is associated with the flagella and is proteinaceous in nature.
3. Vi-antigen (Capsular antigen): It is a surface polysaccharide associated with the capsule.
Therefore, the H-antigen is associated with the flagella.
Answer: Flagella
1. O-antigen (Somatic antigen): It is associated with the cell wall (lipopolysaccharide).
2. H-antigen (Flagellar antigen): It is associated with the flagella and is proteinaceous in nature.
3. Vi-antigen (Capsular antigen): It is a surface polysaccharide associated with the capsule.
Therefore, the H-antigen is associated with the flagella.
