Slade, Hutton D. (Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, Ill.) and William C. Slamp. Cell-wall composition and grouping antigens of streptococci. J. Bacteriol. >84:345–351. 1962.—The carbohydrates present in the cell walls of streptococci belonging to serological groups A–H and K–S, and unclassifiable strains, have been identified. The sugars found were rhamnose, glucose, galactose, arabinose, and mannose. All sugars vary considerably in their distribution among the groups; glucose, galactose, and rhamnose occur most frequently. Strains were found which contained each of the latter sugars singly or in combination with one or both of the other sugars. Variation within a single group occurred in one-half of the groups. A strain containing only glucose and another only galactose were found. Except for groups A and C, in which only rhamnose is present in the great majority of strains, the presence or absence of the sugars does not aid in the identification of the groups. The cell walls of all groups examined also contained alanine, glutamic acid, lysine, glucosamine, galactosamine, and muramic acid. The cell walls of all groups, except D, agglutinated in the presence of specific group antisera, indicating the presence of the group antigen in the cell wall. Strains in groups F, K, and M gave a weak reaction. The structure and chemical composition of the group antigens of the streptococci are discussed.

Bacteriol。 > 84： 345-351。 - 已经鉴定了属于血清学基团A-H和K-S的链球菌的细胞壁中存在的碳水化合物，并鉴定出杂散的菌株。发现的糖是犀牛，葡萄糖，半乳糖，阿拉伯糖和甘露糖。所有糖在群体之间的分布方面都有很大差异;葡萄糖，半乳糖和鼻窦最常发生。发现菌株单独含有后一种糖，或与其他糖中的一种或两种组合含有后一糖。单个组内的变化发生在组中的一半。发现仅含有葡萄糖和另一个只有半乳糖的菌株。除了A和C组之外，其中仅在大多数菌株中仅存在鼠李，糖的存在或不存在并不有助于鉴定组。所有基团的细胞壁也含有丙氨酸，谷氨酸，赖氨酸，葡糖胺，半乳糖胺和蛋白酸。除D的所有基团的细胞壁，除D，在特定基团抗血清的存在下粘合，表明细胞壁中的抗原的存在。组f，k和m组中的菌株给出了弱反应。讨论了链球菌的组抗原的结构和化学组成。
