Meanings of capsular polysaccharide in English

Evaluated phenotypic traits were the capsular polysaccharide, cell and colony morphology and virulence.

A capsular polysaccharide (CPS) conjugate vaccine is under development and requires determination of the valency.

The major virulence factor of Cryptococcus neoformans is its capsular polysaccharide, which is also released into tissues.

Antibodies raised against purified capsular polysaccharide are highly opsonic and protect mice against bacteremia after active and passive immunization.

Pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccines are highly effective in children, but suffer from some limitations including cost and limited serotype coverage.

The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of Streptococcus pneumoniae is the main virulence factors required for effective colonization and invasive disease.

We conclude that the capsular polysaccharide of some strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci is an important factor in adherence to catheter tubing.

The procedure can be applied with minor modifications to other bacterial species, including those carrying capsular polysaccharide attached to the outer membrane.

The capsular polysaccharide and type 1 fimbriae are two of the major surface-located virulence properties associated with the pathogenesis of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Overproduction of the capsular polysaccharide alginate appears to confer a selective advantage for Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients.

Analysis of one group of capsule-deficient variants indicated that the capsular polysaccharide was re-expressed at a frequency of 10(-3).

Clinical and serum antibody responses following intramuscular injection of two formulations of Salmonella typhi Vi capsular polysaccharide (Vi) were assessed in a double-blind evaluation.

Covalent linkage of the bacterial capsular polysaccharide to a carrier protein provides CD4+ T cells with epitopes that facilitate a memory response to the polysaccharide.

Capsular polysaccharides are shed into tissue where they produce many deleterious effects.

Bacterial capsular polysaccharides are virulence factors and are considered T cell-independent antigens.

Herein, we assessed whether this same mechanism applies to conjugates prepared from other capsular polysaccharides.
