Overproduction of Type 8 Capsular Polysaccharide Augments<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>Virulence

1 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

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 antiphagocytic virulence...
