Primary structure of the Escherichia coli serotype K42 capsular polysaccharide and its serological identity with the Klebsiella K63 polysaccharide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Escherichia coli K42 capsular polysaccharide consists of leads to 3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1 leads to 3)-alpha-D-GalUAp-(1 leads to 3)-alpha-L-Fucp-(1 leads to repeating units. The E. coli K42 and Klebsiella K63 antigens are serologically identical.

Abstract Background and objectives: important virulence factor for many invasive bacterial pathogens of humans. Escherichia coli offer a model system to study the mechanisms by which capsular polysaccharides are synthesized and exported onto the cell surface of bacteria. Biosynthesis of the E consists of the repeat structure -4) GlcA- (1, 4)-GlcNAc- (1-, requires the KfiA,...

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important nosocomial pathogens. Its capsular polysaccharide is considered as the first and most important virulence factor of this bacterium. This study aimed to investigate the presence of capsular serotypes K1 and K2 in K. pneumoniae isolates to examine the virulence ...

A gene library of genomic DNA Klebsiella aerogenes of capsular serotype K1 was constructed in E. coli LE392 using the cosmid pMMB33. Culture filtrates of E. coli recombinants were screened by ELISA for extracellular polysaccharides specific for K. aerogenes K1. Extracellular polysaccharide extracts from K. aerogenes K1 and 3% of the E. coli recombinants contained immunoprotective extracellular ...
متن کاملRegulatory Mechanisms for Synthesis of Capsular Polysaccharide in Mucoid Mutants of Escherichia Coli K12.
Jacob and Monod have proposed that regulator genes may control the syntheses of several related enzymes in Escherichia coli K12.1 The present paper provides evidence for a regulator gene (designated R1)2 which controls capsular polysaccharide synthesis in E. coli K12. Certain mutants of E. coli produce large mucoid colonies which are characterized by overproduction of polysaccharide. The polysa...
