Synthesis of the Staphylococcus aureus Strain M Capsular Polysaccharide Repeating Unit

چکیده
The synthesis of the Staphylococcus aureus strain M capsular polysaccharide repeating unit is reported. A postglycosylation oxidation strategy was utilized for the construction of the α-galactosaminuronic acid linkages, relying on a stereoselective 2-azido-4,6-O-di-tert-butylsilylidene galactopyranoside donor, for which the selectivity was assessed by model glycosylations. The α-fucosamine linkage was installed stereoselectively, using a reactive 2-azidofucosyl donor. An unexpected glycosidic bond cleavage during the TEMPO/PhI(OAc)2-mediated oxidation of a disaccharide intermediate was circumvented by a TEMPO/PhI(OAc)2-Pinnick oxidation protocol.

Overproduction of type 8 capsular polysaccharide augments Staphylococcus aureus virulence.
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 antip...
متن کاملEpidemiological markers for epidemic strain and carrier isolates in an outbreak of nosocomial oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
An outbreak of nosocomial infections occurring in a postoperative intensive care unit was caused by a single strain of oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Six patients were infected, or colonized, by this strain, which was traced by using the following four epidemiological markers: antibiogram, bacteriophage type, capsular polysaccharide type, and esterase electrophoretic type. This stra...
متن کاملReactivity of type-specific monoclonal antibodies with Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates and purified capsular polysaccharide.
Staphylococcus aureus has been classified into at least eight different capsular types by using polyclonal rabbit antisera specific for their associated capsular polysaccharides. We produced and characterized monoclonal antibodies reactive with two serologically distinct capsular types, types 5 and 8, which account for more than 70% of all S. aureus bacteremias. These type-specific, monoclonal ...
متن کاملChemical characterization and immunogenicity of capsular polysaccharide isolated from mucoid Staphylococcus aureus.
In this study we report the isolation and purification of the capsular polysaccharide elaborated by Staphylococcus aureus SA1 mucoid. The capsule was isolated from bacterial extracts and culture supernatants by a series of ethanol precipitations and enzyme digestions, followed by ion-exchange chromatography. Teichoic acid contamination was eliminated by oxidation with sodium metaperiodate, and ...
متن کاملProtective efficacy of antibodies to the Staphylococcus aureus type 5 capsular polysaccharide in a modified model of endocarditis in rats.
The protective efficacy of antibodies to the Staphylococcus aureus type 5 capsular polysaccharide (CP5) was examined in a modified model of catheter-induced endocarditis. Rats were catheterized by surgically passing a polyethylene catheter through the right carotid artery and aortic valve into the left ventricle. The following day, the rats were injected by the intraperitoneal (i.p.) route with...
