<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>Strains That Express Serotype 5 or Serotype 8 Capsular Polysaccharides Differ in Virulence

20 May 2005

Abstract excerpt

Most isolates of Staphylococcus aureus produce a serotype 5 (CP5) or 8 (CP8) capsular polysaccharide. To investigate whether CP5 and CP8 differ in their biological properties, we created isogenic mutants of S. aureus Reynolds that expressed CP5, CP8, or no capsule. Biochemical analyses of CP5 and CP8 purified from the isogenic S. aureus strains were consistent with published structures. The degree of O...
