چکیده
CAMERON, C. M . Antiphagocytic activity of Staphylococcus aureus antigens. Onderstepoort J. vet. Res. (1969), 36 (2) , 199-206. Systematic fractionation of a capsulated stra in cf Staphylococcus aureus has led to the isolation of two antigens which would specifically absorb opsonizing antibody from immune rabbit serum. One of these antigens was shown to be serologically identical to teichoic acid . Teichoic ac_id is considered to be an important antigen for mediating phagocytosis and killing of staphylococci, but other antigens may a lso play a role in immunity depending on the strain involved , the route of infection, and possible deleterious effects of hypersensitivity reactions.

متن کاملOverproduction of type 8 capsular polysaccharide augments Staphylococcus aureus virulence.
Type 8 capsular polysaccharide (CP8) is the most prevalent capsule type in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. However, its role in virulence has not been clearly defined. CP8 strains such as strain Becker produce a small amount of capsule on their surface in vitro. In contrast, CP1 strains such as strain M produce a large amount of capsule, which has been shown to be an important antip...
متن کاملO-Acetylation is essential for functional antibody generation against Staphylococcus aureus capsular polysaccharide
Staphylococcus aureus produces an antiphagocytic polysaccharide capsule to evade neutrophil-mediated killing. Many vaccines against encapsulated bacterial pathogens require generation of functional anti-capsular antibodies to mediate protection against infection and disease. Here it is shown that the generation of such antibody responses to S. aureus in vivo and in vitro requires the presence o...
متن کاملAntiphagocytic Effect of Slime from a Mucoid Strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa produce a viscid slime when grown on the surface of agar media. These strains are known to colonize persistently the tracheobronchial tree of children with cystic fibrosis. Colonization may result from inhibition of phagocytosis due to slime produced by the organism. Slime separated from one mucoid strain was examined to determine whether it possessed an...
