O-Acetylation of Sialic Acid on Group B Streptococcus Inhibits Neutrophil Suppression and Virulence

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) requires capsular sialic acid (Sia) for virulence and partially modifies this sugar by O-acetylation. We describe serotype specific patterns of GBS Sia O-acetylation that can be manipulated by genetic and biochemical means. In vitro and in vivo assays demonstrate this sub...
