O-Acetylation is essential for functional antibody generation against Staphylococcus aureus capsular polysaccharide
Staphylococcus aureus produces an antiphagocytic polysaccharide capsule to evade neutrophil-mediated killing. Many vaccines against encapsulated bacterial pathogens require generation of functional anti-capsular antibodies to mediate protection against infection and disease. Here it is shown that th...
