Table 1. Exposure of SAP on bacterial surface in the presence of different carbohydrates.
Glucose | Maltose | Pullulan | Glycogen | |
COH1 | 7* | 56 | 232 | 255 |
COH1Δsap | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
COH1-13 | 62 | 308 | 453 | 452 |
Numbers indicate the delta mean of fluorescence relative to bacteria incubated with a SAP immune serum versus bacteria incubated with a pre-immune serum.
