phosphate limitation modulates capsular polysaccharide composition in mycobacteria 4
Inorganic phosphate limitation modulates capsular polysaccharide composition in mycobacteria 4. Running title: Pi limitation modulates capsular polysaccharide composition. ABSTRACT Mycobacterium tuberculosis is protected by an unusual and highly impermeable cell-envelope that is critically important for the successful colonisation of the host. The outermost surface of this cell envelope is form...
متن کاملPneumococcal Capsular Polysaccharide Vaccine
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus [Pnc]) is a common bacterial agent found in mild mucosal as well as severe systemic infections. Local infections, such as acute otitis media, are rather common; every child has at least one during the first 2 years of life (1), and Pnc is the causative agent in approximately half of the bacterial culturepositive cases (2). Pneumonia is another disease ofte...

متن کاملNeuA sialic acid O-acetylesterase activity modulates O-acetylation of capsular polysaccharide in group B Streptococcus.
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. A major GBS virulence determinant is its sialic acid (Sia)-capped capsular polysaccharide. Recently, we discovered the presence and genetic basis of capsular Sia O-acetylation in GBS. We now characterize a GBS Sia O-acetylesterase that modulates the degree of GBS surface O-acetylation. The GBS Sia O-acetylesterase ...
متن کاملCapsular polysaccharide phase variation in Vibrio vulnificus.
Commonly found in raw oysters, Vibrio vulnificus poses a serious health threat to immunocompromised individuals and those with serum iron overload, with a fatality rate of approximately 50%. An essential virulence factor is its capsular polysaccharide (CPS), which is responsible for a significant increase in virulence compared to nonencapsulated strains. However, this bacterium is known to vary...
