Abstract

Immunochemical analysis of the capsular polysaccharide from Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 revealed a novel structure composed of two distinct polysaccharides. Immunoelectrophoresis of an extract of purified surface polysaccharide from fermenter-grown organisms showed a complex precipitin profile with varying anodal mobility. DEAE-Sephacel anion-exchange chromatography of the polysaccharide extract failed to separate the majority of this aggregate. Disaggregation of this complex was accomplished by very mild acid treatment; purification was achieved by DEAE-Sephacel anion-exchange chromatography. Polysaccharide A had a neutral charge at pH 7.3, a net negative charge at pH 8.6, and an average Mr = 110,000; chemical analysis showed it to contain galactose, galactosamine, and an unidentified amino sugar. Polysaccharide B eluted from the anion-exchange column with increased salt concentration; it had a net negative charge and an average Mr = 200,000, and contained fucose, galactose, quinovosamine, galacturonic acid, and glucosamine. Neither of these polysaccharides contained detectable 3-deoxy-D-manno-octolusonic acid, and both were recognized as distinct antigens on the basis of their reactivity with monoclonal antibodies CE3 and F10, which reacted with the complex before acid treatment. These data indicate that the capsule of B. fragilis NCTC 9343 comprises two discrete, surface-exposed polysaccharides with differing physiochemical properties that are distinct from the lipopolysaccharide of this organism. The finding of two surface polysaccharides has not been described for other bacteria pathogenic to humans.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
