Staphylococcus aureus Serotype 5 Capsular Polysaccharide Is Antiphagocytic and Enhances Bacterial Virulence in a Murine Bacteremia Model

Controversy persists over the role that the capsular polysaccharide plays in the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus infections. To address this issue, we compared the mouse virulence of S. aureus Reynolds and capsule-defective mutant strains cultivated under conditions of high or low capsule expr...
