  • Title: [The polysaccharide component of Pseudomonas pseudomallei slime].
    Author: Denisov II.
    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1985 Nov; (11):23-6. PubMed ID: 2418606.
    Abstract:
    The polysaccharide component contained in the slime of the causative agent of melioidosis was obtained. This component was found to be a biopolymer, mainly of the carbohydrate nature, consisting of galactose, glucose, mannose, rhamnose and two unidentified carbohydrates. The slime polysaccharide component contained two thermostable and acid-resistant antigens. The action of alkali led to the loss of one of these antigens. Rabbit antisera to the preparations of the slime polysaccharide component with titers of 1:64 to 1:256, determined in the immunodiffusion test, were obtained. In the precipitation test the slime polysaccharide component reacted with antisera from sick experimental animals, thus confirming the suggestion of its secretion in the process of the development of melioidosis infection.
