Staphylococcus aureusCapsular Polysaccharides [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2004 SUMMARYSerotype 5 and 8 capsular polysaccharides predominate among clinical isolates ofStaphylococcus aureus.The results of experiments in animal models of infection have revealed that staphylococcal capsules are important in the pathogenesis ofS. aureusinfections.

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 ...

In vivo role of capsular polysaccharide in Mycoplasma mycoides [PDF]
, 2019 Capsular polysaccharides have been confirmed to be an important virulence trait in many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Similarly, they are proposed to be virulence traits in minimal Mycoplasma that cause disease in humans and animals.

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 ...

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 ...
