The effects of growth in human serum on an acapsular group B Streptococcus mutant.

FEMS immunology and medical microbiology - 1 Sept 1994

Platt M W, Scaletti J, Correa N

Abstract excerpt

A Group B Streptococcus Type III (GBS) mutant which, when grown in Todd Hewitt broth (THB), does not produce any detectable capsule, produced a clearly visible polysaccharide capsule when grown in human serum. We isolated cytoplasmic membranes from GBS and separated the component membrane proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A significant change in membrane composition was found during growth in human...
