O-Acetylation of Capsular Polysialic Acid Enables Escherichia coli K1 Escaping from Siglec-Mediated Innate Immunity and Lysosomal Degradation of E. coli-Containing Vacuoles in Macrophage-Like Cells

Escherichia coli K1 causes bacteremia and meningitis in human neonates. The K1 capsule, an α2,8-linked polysialic acid (PSA) homopolymer, is its essential virulence factor. PSA is usually partially modified by O-acetyl groups. It is known that O-acetylation alters the antigenicity of PSA, but its im...
