Coordination of capsule assembly and cell wall biosynthesis in Staphylococcus aureus
Nature Communications, 2019 The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria consists of peptidoglycan modified with other polymers, such as the capsular polysaccharide. Here, the authors reconstitute the biosynthesis of capsular polysaccharide and elucidate its interplay with the cell wall

Transport of Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide in MHC Class II tubules. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 Bacterial capsular polysaccharides are virulence factors and are considered T cell-independent antigens. However, the capsular polysaccharide Sp1 from Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 has been shown to activate CD4(+) T cells in a major ...

Anti-biofilm activity of a polysaccharide from marine sponge associated Bacillus licheniformis [PDF]
, 2011 Secondary metabolites ranging from furanone to exo-polysaccharides have been suggested to have anti-biofilm activity in various recent studies. Among these,Escherichia coli group II capsular polysaccharides were shown to inhibit biofilm formation in a ...

Characterization of porcine dendritic cell response to
Veterinary Research, 2011 Streptococcus suis is a major swine pathogen and important zoonotic agent causing mainly septicemia and meningitis. However, the mechanisms involved in host innate and adaptive immune responses toward S. suis as well as the mechanisms used by S.

Non-capsular based immunization approaches to prevent Streptococcus pneumoniae infection
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive bacterium and the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia in children and the elderly worldwide. Currently, two types of licensed vaccines are available to prevent the disease caused by this pathogen: the 23 ...

mBio, 2013 Expression of capsular polysaccharides is a variable trait often associated with more-virulent forms of a bacterial species. For example, typhoid fever is caused by the capsulated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, while nontyphoidal Salmonella serovars ...

Population-based analysis of invasive nontypeable pneumococci reveals that most have defective capsule synthesis genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Since nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococcus precedes invasive pneumococcal disease, characteristics of carriage isolates could be incorrectly assumed to reflect those of invasive isolates.

Antibiofilm activity of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 capsular polysaccharide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cell-free extracts isolated from colony biofilms of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 were found to inhibit biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, but not by A.
