The glycosphingolipids (GSLs) gangliotriaosylceramide (Gg(3)) and gangliotetraosylceramide (Gg(4)) have been implicated as receptors for type IV pili (T4P)-mediated Pseudomonas aeruginosa epithelial cell attachment. Since P. aeruginosa T4P are divided into five groups, the authors determined whether GSLs in general, and
