The surface polysaccharide antigen of Staphylococcus aureus M was isolated, and the component parts were identified. The antigen is composed of taurine, d-aminogalacturonic acid, and d-fucosamine. The capsule is chemically distinct from all previously reported staphylococcal capsules. Taurine and aminogalacturonic acid have not been reported previously in staphylococci.
分离出了金黄色葡萄球菌M的表面多糖抗原,并对其组成部分进行了鉴定。该抗原由牛磺酸、d-氨基半乳糖醛酸和d-岩藻糖胺组成。该荚膜在化学性质上与之前报道的所有葡萄球菌荚膜都不同。牛磺酸和氨基半乳糖醛酸此前在葡萄球菌中尚未有过报道。
